Louise Bell
Louise is a prolific champion and winner of prestigious working hunter title.
Despite surviving a horrific road accident in 2002, breaking her leg in multiple places, Louise is one of the most successful lady riders to grace the world of working hunter competitions. She is married to former show jumper, Robert Bell, and the Warwickshire based partnership has gained an enviable reputation in producing top class working hunter and show hunter horses.
Louise recalls having her first pony at the age of seven. As he grew up, Louise was to be familiar face in all sorts of equestrian disciplines from gymkhana games to dressage, show jumping and eventing.
At the age of 17, she worked for Daphne Wyatt and it was then that she experienced her first taste of working hunter competitions. The showing ‘bug’ well and truly set in. It was not long before Louise’s showing career really took off.
In 2005, Louise was thrilled to take Reserve Champion of the Year riding Rock Star at Horse of the Year Show and in 2008 she won the honours of Working Hunter of the Year riding Out of Sight. Other titles include winning the Supreme Working Hunter Champion title at the Royal International Horse Show on no fewer than eight occasions on Out of Sight, Rock Star, Crest Cavalier and her beloved Rocky IV.
