Dressage
Gemma Boorman
Head Girl
Gemma has been with us since March 2018. She started off with us part time and has slowly progressed to full time. She is an invaluable member of the team who is loved by all and looks after the horses impeccably. During the show season she keeps the horses looking incredible and has enviable plaiting and turn out skills! Gemma also helps on the ground with in hand hacking and also in hand through the backing process. Gemma also has her own pony with us who has become a big part of the yard family and is 'part of the furniture'. It is a long standing joke that Bradley and Penny are to be husband and wife and retire together!

Amy Howell
Sunday Girl
Amy used to work for us part time back 2017 before taking leave to have her children. She is now helping out on sunday mornings and the odd cover. She has plenty of experience on both professional and private yards. She is competent and sympathetic handling the horses and she treats the horse as her own.

Phoebe
Head of Security and Assistant Trainer
Phoebe is Ashleighs pride and joy. She is a working cocker spaniel who has a massive personality! Often found helping Ashleigh and liveries in the arena or chasing away dangerous squirrels and rabbits!!
Louisa Cuomo
Ashleigh is one of Louisa's 'Preferred Trainers'
Our much loved saddle fitter Louisa is very well known for supporting rider and horse in all disciplines by assisting in correct saddle biomechanics and analysing the change in performance with use of her high-tech gait analysis cameras. We are very pleased to be on Louisas list of preferred trainers in Kent.
Louisa works closely with Ashleigh and the horses to assess the partnership from rider position to the asymmetry of the horse and ability to work correctly and therefore aiding the partnership to move forward with their goals and to most importantly stay sound and comfortable.
Louisa is a Listed British Dressage Judge and is often at show’s supporting us as well as the BD Southern Team!
My family and friends
I am so grateful to have an incredible support network around me, supporting me in everything I do and helping me achieve my goals. Including my parents who help look after Freddie and Bobby who helps keep the yard in order for me!
