Gemma is now embarking on her 7th year on the World Class Development Programme. The programme is funded by the National Lottery, and divided into Start, and Potential squads. Gemma is on the Potential Squad, and really enjoys the training and other support she gets. 'I get a lot of support and help from the programme, and the training especially helps me - I have always enjoyed having lessons, and the lessons I get through the programme are from the best trainers in the country' said Gemma

Gemma gets a lot of feed from Hickstaed Horse Feeds, as well as nutrition advice. She commented 'I am very pleased to be sponsered by Hickstead horse feeds, they have supported me now for a number of years and my horses always look great and perform well on the feed'.

Puffa have been Gemma's title sponsor, and her lorry is still known as 'The Puffa Lorry'. Gemma commented 'Puffa have been a great sponsor for me, supplying me and my well deserving girls with very cool clothes and coats. It has been quite exciting as well as we have been involved with some fantastic photo shoots at places like Blenhiem Palace.'

New You personal training are based at Bannatynes health club, currently opperating from the Eastbourne and Hastings sites. I try to train at least two to three times a week with my trainer who works me very hard in the gym.

Quantum saddles are a relatively new sponsor for Gemma. Their different approach to saddle design has attracted a lot of top riders, and Gemma is delighted to be one of their sponsored event riders. 'I really enjoy working with the Quantum team. They have put a lot of effort and creativity into their saddles, and I have found that they are really great in competition'
