Bryony Frost

Bryony Frost (born 13 April 1995)[1] is an English jockey from Buckfastleigh, Devonshire. She is the daughter of retired jockey Jimmy Frost, winner of the 1989 Grand National.

As an amateur jockey, Frost won the Foxhunter Chase at the 2017 Cheltenham Festival, riding Pacha Du Polder. She turned professional later that year.[2]

In April 2018, she rode Milansbar to fifth place in the Grand National.[3] She became the fifth woman to record 75 wins under rules in November of that year[4] and the second to ride out her claim by completing 75 wins while a conditional jockey.[5]

In March 2019, Frost became the first woman to win a Grade One race over obstacles at the Cheltenham Festival, riding Frodon in the Ryanair Chase.[6] The following month she won the British conditional jockeys title for the 2018–19 season.[7]
