Guy and Mandy have both been successful International riders from a very young age. Their first pony was a 128cms Welsh pony called Paddy. Guy and Mandy shared Paddy and had to take turns at riding him for the first year until "Inch High", "Tiny Tim" and "Tully" made up the string of 12.2 ponies with which they competed throughout the country. They both  represented England in the Home International Show jumping Series. They then progressed through 148cm.ponies with "Dusty Boy", "Sandy B" and "Night Out". They moved up to horses when they reached 16 years old. They each achieved silver medals in their respective European championships while on 148 cm ponies.
