KAY

I am a BHSII registered instructor and have been teaching, riding, competing and farming all of my working life. I enjoy helping people to improve not only their riding but their bond and communication with the horse. I’m also enjoying seeing the smiles our therapy ponies bring when visiting the care homes and hospitals, and look forward to seeing our venture grow to help more people in the community

KATHY

I come from a farming family and was on ponies before I could walk. I was a member of the local pony club branch up to the age of 17 and loved every minute of it. Then I was a school governor for a number of years, working with children and adults, as well as being heavily involved with fundraising activities. I trained with Intelligent Horsemanship learning about horse behaviour, psychology and effective training methods and am a fully qualified horse behaviouralist and on the side I run KW equine.
