Be prepared for serious yard envy – take a look at British team hero Tim Gredley’s incredible stables

British showjumper Tim Gredley was part of the heroic quartet that won the Nations Cup on home soil at Hickstead last month. The Newmarket-based rider has been selected to represent Great Britain at the European Showjumping Championships in Milan, Italy, this month riding his top horse, Medoc De Toxandria.

It has been a remarkable comeback for the 37-year-old, who stepped away from the sport for several years to work in the family business. But Tim Gredley has shown possibly the best form of his life as he has worked his way back up the rankings to fulfil his goal of returning to the Great Britain championship team. Tim will head to Italy alongside Ben Maher, Sam Hutton, Donald Whitaker and Harry Charles, some 17 years since his last championship appearance at the World Equestrian Games in 2006 riding the great Omelli.

H&H sat down with Tim Gredley to hear all about his return to the top of the sport and find out more about his fantastic string of horses, life on the road with a young family, and how he’s set out to attract some much-needed investment into British horsepower – you can read the full interview in this week’s Horse & Hound magazine, on sale Thursday 18 August.

Here, we take a look around his incredible Newmarket stables and home.

Racing is in the Gredley family’s blood and they’ve made their home near its headquarters in Newmarket. One of the family’s home-breds, Burdett Road, was a Royal Ascot winner this year.
