ALLY GILL - Head Girl

You are only as good as the team around you, and I am grateful to our grooms who really go the extra mile. We pride ourselves on the detailed, individual, loving care each horse receives. The team is headed by Ally Gill, who started in Winter 2018 after several years learning with Marietta Fox-Pitt. She travels to all competitions and ensures the horses are turned out immaculately.

MEGAN SUTTON-WALKER - Groom

Megan and her horse, The Gingerbread Man, joined us in the winter of 2020 from North Yorkshire, Megan having previously worked for Phil Kirby Racing. Megan is focused on forging a career in the eventing world, and is extremely hard working, committed and caring to all the horses.

GEORGINA DOBBIN - Apprentice

Georgie and her horse Ronald Toffee Apple joined us fresh from school in Autumn 2019. In early 2021 she completed her Level 2 Horse Care Apprenticeship scheme through Haddon Training. We are delighted she has decided to stay with us for her Level 3 too.

TOM CAMPBELL - Vet

Tom, from the local Bourton Vale Equine Clinic, has been my vet since I started riding. He vetted Hennessy in 2005 and has been a fantastic support ever since. I feel privileged to be able to benefit from his constant expertise.

MAGGIE TURNER Equine Physio, and WINSTON WILLIAMS Equine Chiropractor

Maggie  and Winston compliment each other brilliantly. Together they provide regular assessments and evaluations of the horses; feedback is critical for improving and understanding the horses' performance. It is important that the horses arrive at competitions feeling supple, comfortable and able to perform at their peak.

AT HOME

I am extremely grateful to my landlords Mr and Mrs Alberto who allow us to call the beautiful Ampney Knowle estate our home. Lee Vallis is the Farm Manager and performs constant maintenance tasks that keep the yard looking smart and professional. This includes all repairs, emptying the muck trailer and harrowing / rolling the schools and fields.

MY OWNERS

Details about my wonderful group of owners can be found on the Horses page. Without them there would be no horses, no business and no dream. I thank them for their continued support and friendship.
