RIDING HIGH AS SHE PLANS HER BIG DAY NATASHA BAKER

Natasha Baker was hoping to add another Paralympic gold medal to her impressive collection of five this summer. But when the Tokyo 2020 Games were postponed due to Covid-19, she threw herself into planning another exciting event.

Natasha, 30, is preparing to marry her fiancé Marc Jaconelli, 28, and the big day has been organised with the same efficiency and enthusiasm that the multi-medal-winning dressage champion applies to her sport. The venue, North Cadbury Court in Somerset, is already booked for March 2022, as are the caterers, band, photographer and videographer. All that’s left is to buy the dress.

“I’ve loved focusing on mine and Marc’s relationship and planning theat our exclusive photoshoot at her parents’ livery yard in Cowley, West London, where she lived during lockdown. “Just because Tokyo hasn’t happened doesn’t mean I haven’t been able to do the things I love to do. It’s been nice to press the pause button.”
