Imogen Hilterman
Imogen Hiltermann is a 20 years old South African Show Jumper from Johennesburg. She started riding at Sun Valley Stables at the age of 4, and at 13 years old she moved to Burlington Stables and she has trained under Anne-Marie Esslinger ever since. Imogen has got three wonderful horses, Uhlane du Hans (who has now retired at Burlington), Alberich 10, and Callaho Carlsberg.
Alberich is 9 year old Hanoverian. He is full of spunk and absolutely loves his job! She has just moved up to the 1.35m on him. Her goal with him is to be successful at these heights and eventually make our way up to the 1.40m and possibly the 1.50m classes.
Carlsberg is a 6 year old South African Warmblood, and he has just moved up to the 1.10m. He is the first young horse Imogen have owned, and her goal with him is to produce him up the grades. He finds his job effortless, so I have no doubt in my mind he’ll be able to jump some big jumps one day!
