I have been a member or on the committee (in a variety of roles) of Brent Knoll for the last 25 years, it may be more! I’ve always enjoyed the club and seen it progress over the years.

I now have 2 horses Tom my homebred who’s 22 and Flora my brothers ex racehorse. Flora and I do a bit of dressage, and showing being successful at the North Somerset show.  I work in the Paediatric intensive care unit at Bristol children’s hospital and having retired and returned part time I feel I  have time to help the committee.
​
I look forward to meeting new and old members when we are allowed!

I joined the committee mid 2016. Having been a member for a few years, I wanted to put something back into a Club that had given me so much fun. I have been lucky enough to have had horses all my life and competed at various levels and in various disciplines. I gained my BHSAI in 1991 and spent many years teaching for the Pony Club in my spare time. I currently have four horses, my home-bred horse, Zest, who is currently on loan as he has had to retire from competitions due to injury; Scrumpy, a lovely coloured Quantock pony, who is also on loan; and then I have two Quantock youngsters, who came to me at weaning in October 2017 which I started to back in summer 2021.

I’ve got two mares who take up majority of my time! I’ve recently got Paris who is a lovely stamp and will hopefully go on to be a great all rounder.  My other horse, Lucy, the aim is just to get her to enjoying her ridden life. Becoming a member of BKRC is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and feel that my girls will only excel from the opportunities that come from being within the club!

I moved to Somerset in 2015 and joined BKRC at the beginning of 2017. I was looking for a nice friendly club and one that would let all members join in and enter team events. BKRC were so friendly and I have already had a lot of fun - including a trip to Lincoln to do the National Team Dressage Champs in 2017, and trips to Hartpury for the SWWRC Team Champs for Dressage in 2019 and Jumping and Dressage Champs, where Freddie danced his way to individual 7th. 

Perhaps the best thing to come from joining the club, was that I met Ros Burridge and her pony Freddie, who I bought in Jan 2018. He’s such a little dude and we have represented the club in show jumping, dressage and also at the horse trials.

​The club has been so welcoming that I wanted to help out, so I offered my web services. I look forward to meeting you all at BKRC events

My background is totally different to the other committee members. I have ridden all my life and my main love is racing. I successfully point to pointed for many years, and now work as the jockey’s valet for the south west region, helping young upcoming jockeys. Since retiring from race riding, I have enjoyed training my own horses for point to points, hunting and more recently, have enjoyed educating two young horses from foals to the ground work before backing (which will hopefully be this summer). I joined the Riding Club a couple of years ago, when I was asked to show jump and cross country a friend’s horse. This led to our team qualifying for the Riding Club Show Jumping championships, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I have joined the committee so that I can help the Club continue with offering training and competition experiences to its members.

​My first year back joining a local riding club after many years riding and competing up in Nottingham. I was a keen eventer for many years, and now have a youngster who I hope to bring up through the levels. My other boy is a rehab project but I am looking forward to having lessons and entering some competitions with him. I shall be looking after the bookings of lessons this year and hope to provide lessons for everyone of all ages, abilities and interests. BKRC offers a diverse range of activities and I want to keep that going so that everyone can learn in a happy and fun environment with some of the best instructors around who we are so lucky to have as part of our team. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and making some new friends.
