The Team

History

Jive Pony was formed in 2005 by Rebecca with the pony Ronan. They performed their first ever show at the Selby Game Fair in a very muddy field in May of that year. Since that muddy field performance, Jive Pony has gone from strength to strength.

Starting at grass roots level the display team performed at local shows and events in 2005. Word spread quickly and they began to get invited to numerous larger equine and country shows in 2006, performing their unique blend of vaulting stunts and equine dance both indoors and outdoors. By the end of the 2006 season, Rebecca was joined by Rosie who stepped in to commentate on the shows.

In early 2007, Rosie bought and trained her horse Tinker which gave Jive Pony the opportunity to expand their stunning display by offering both solo and duo performances, with Tinker's début performance being at the Three Counties show in the summer of 2007. The feedback showed what a huge success the new addition to the show was and Jive Pony were fast becoming one of the most popular features at many of the major shows up and down the country including The CLA Game Fair, The Royal Show, Ireland National Country Fair and many more.

With another busy schedule in 2008, Jive Pony have continued to expand on the original idea that Rebecca first had and the UK's premier female vaulting display team now have a diverse range of shows that they perform all over the country throughout the summer season, wowing crowds of all ages, from the young children to grannies. Everyone loves Jive Pony and both Rebecca and Rosie, along with the whole Jive Pony display team, are looking forward to attending even more bigger shows in 2009.
