NIKI CHAPMAN, owners

I am fortunate to have several supportive owners. One of my owners and my biggest supporter is my Mum, Carol Chapman. Mum has been a huge influence on my riding career. Mum currently owns several of the horses I ride. I am very fortunate to have such a supportive family that continues to assist me by providing quality horse for me to ride.

Joanne Markwell bred and own’s Ladybrook Remington, Joanne bred Remi to campdraft, however he grew too big. Joanne really did not want to sell Remi so still continues to own and support him whilst he tries his hand at Eventing.  Remi is proving to be a successful event horse who I hope has the ability to be successful at the highest level.  I enjoy working with both Remi and Joanne and hope we can achieve much success together.

Past owners

Veronica Hazelton from Statford Park owned Statford Mantovani and Vivaro that I previously campaigned.  I was privileged to ride these lovely horses that were bred by Veronica.

Sally and Corey Keable and Tom Thompson of Yarrawin Stud bred and owned Yarrawin Jamaica (Jade) who I rode in 2003-2004.  I was offered the ride on Jade as Sally and Corey have started a family and found they did not have sufficient time to put into Jade.  In 2004 Jade was sold to event rider Robert Palm.

James Bester is a well known bloodstock agent who has a reputation as a outstanding judge of a young thoroughbred racehorse.  James owned and raced the gelding Dune Warrior when his racing career finished James asked if I would see if Dune Warrior would make an event horse.  Dune Warrior progressed quickly to Pre Novice level with several placing's along the way.  

Sarina Hurst is a well known dressage judge who owns the Warmblood gelding Dom that I competed throughout 2006.  Sarina felt that Dom may benefit from a bit of Eventing, I felt that Dom really enjoyed jumping and being an Event horse.
