Ellen is excited to announce she has bought two new horses to join her already successful team of winners!

The horses, both from Sweden, have joined Ellen at her home near Barnsley and she is spending time getting to know them and training them for competitions later this year.

The first horse is called Arena UK Orlando (stable name Lenny) and is a nine-year-old Chestnut. He is described by Ellen as being very brave but with a big heart.

The second horse is a 10-year-old mare called Xemenia (stable name Minnie), who Ellen thinks has a very bright future ahead of her.

Ellen said: "I am really excited to have these horses. They are both very very easy horses and I am enjoying getting to know them. Lenny is really like Kanselier in his early years and I am hoping his career will be as long as successful as Kanselier's was.

"Minnie is an amazing horse. I first saw her when she was very young and then when I rode her recently I loved her. I have very high hopes for her future."
