Fabian Williams (The Blessed Equestrian) – 9th, 13th, 14th and 15th August 2025

Fabian Williams, known as The Blessed Equestrian, is a show jumper and a passionate advocate for diversity in equestrian sports. Growing up in London, he faced challenges, including bullying, which tested his confidence. But rediscovering his love for horses and the sport helped him rebuild self-belief and determination.

Through perseverance and social media advocacy, Fabian has built a remarkable career, speaking at major equestrian and community events and meeting royalty, politicians, and celebrities. He founded Blessed Equestrians to make horse riding accessible to all, proving that anyone, regardless of background, can thrive in equestrian sport.

Fabian attended the Anglo European International School in Essex and is currently training with coach Anand Patel as he prepares for elite competition. His ultimate dream? To jump at the LA Olympics in 2028.
