Celena

Hi, I'm Celena and I work on the yard. I have been riding since I was 5, taught by my mum. Lucky me! I still ride with my mum and we own three horses. One is my American bred sports horse appaloosa. I hope we will compete in all disciplines and having just broken him, I am looking forward to the hard work!

I love working at Barguse, around the horses all day with my little dog Edward who is very popular with all the clients!

Rachel

I'm Rachel and help out with Sat club and Pony Club Camp. I'm mum of two, Myles, 11 and Holly, 9. I work part time at Brannel School in the library, as well as full time mum and housewife. We have two ponies, Drummer, a 14.2 hh bay cob and Barnie an 11. 2hh Welsh Section a. My passion is for endurance riding, I get to ride some amazing countryside that you wouldn't normally be able to ride across.
My biggest achievement with Drum so far was being able to ride in two National Competitions last year at Nottingham and Cirencester and winning an award for the best cob with the most points of the season.
Holly, Myles and myself love coming to Barguse and taking part in all the pony club activities as it's not all about riding, it's the social aspect as well and the children have made lots of new friends with the same interest.

Elissa

Hi, I'm Elissa. I have been a freelance instructor for years now! I qualified as an AI in 1984 and became a BHSII in 1991.I am also qualified as a BHS Riding and Road Safety Trainer.
When I'm not teaching I compete regularly at local and national level in both dressage and horse trials on my own horses. I teach riders of all levels including pony club, riding club and private owners.
My special interests are flatwork and cross country and I particularly enjoy teaching nervous/ anxious riders who need guiding gently in the art of riding!

Lisa

Hi, I'm Lisa and own the Centre with my husband Alistair. I currently own an advanced dressage mare called Minnie and a youngster called Finn, as well as numerous riding school ponies/horses!
When I'm not caring for my little boy, Alex, I can be found teaching private horse owners and the Dressage Academy. You can read my profile under the dressage training section.

Shirley

Hi, I'm Shirley. I work full time in the yard, getting the ponies/horses ready for people to ride and booking in clients for their lessons. My daughter is the rider although when I was younger I rode a lot, taking part in competitions etc. During my teenage years I taught others to ride but that was before you had to have qualifications!!

I stopped riding to have children and it was 20 years before I rode again, now not so confidently!! I taught my daughter to ride and also broke in her first pony.
