A SHOWJUMPER asked “who am I having first?” before he engaged in a threesome with an underage girl and 26-year-old horse rider, a court heard.
Guy Simmonds, 37, and Lauren Jarvis, 26, are accused of targeting the girl despite knowing she was under 16.

Equestrian boss Simmonds called himself “daddy” in messages to the youngster and would abuse her while his girlfriend was away, jurors heard.
Cardiff Crown Court heard that in January 2024, he messaged fellow rider Jarvis to organise a threesome at her home – asking when he should “pop over”.
Simmonds then allegedly text the girl to inform her of the plan, telling her: “You will both do what daddy says.”
The girl told the court Simmonds got her and Jarvis to “do stuff” with each other before he had sex with both of them.
He also allegedly asked: “Who am I having first?”
Jurors heard Simmonds and Jarvis hatched a “pact of silence” following the alleged threesome when they got wind that the girl was talking about it.
He text Jarvis, saying: “Hey, I have a feeling that [name of alleged victim] has said about us. If anyone asks for sake of both of us nothing ever happened that night xx.”
Jarvis replied: “Hey, who’s she told? Oh god has she really, what’s she trying to do, make our lives hell? Of course I will xx.”
The court heard Simmonds ran a riding school that offered “showjumping horse production and sales, coaching and schooling” in the village of Undy in Wales.
The experienced showjumper would allegedly regularly take the girl into a horsebox to sexually abuse her while they were alone at the stables.
Jurors heard that at one point, this was happening every couple of days when Simmonds’ girlfriend was away.
The alarm was raised when the girl told her dad what had allegedly happened and he alerted police.
In her police interview, the girl said she felt she could not just walk away because she was scared Simmonds would “hurt me”.
She added: “I wasn’t smiling and stuff when this was going on. If you looked at my face you could tell there was fear.”
The girl claimed there was one occasion where Simmonds took out his phone and allegedly began filming her.
She told police he had a “little smirk on his face”, the court heard.
Simmonds told police he did not have any form of sexual contact with the victim.
He also claimed any messages about a threesome were “banter and a wind up.”
Simmonds denies six counts of sexual activity with a child, while Jarvis has pleaded not guilty to one charge of sexual activity with a child.
