My wife, Ginny, has been riding since she was a little girl. She has always had an ambition to run her own riding school. Over recent years, she has fought various battles such as loss of our home. Against the odds, she now runs her own riding school, working in wind and rain to provide a friendly and down-to-earth service to the local community. She teaches riders, particularly children, how to ride with compassion for the pony. She seems to have the right measure of constructive criticism and the ability to build the rider up so every lesson ends well and positively. Horses are her life and educating riders to treat their horses with love and respect is the most important mission in her life. She also volunteers as a local horse welfare adviser. She has a lifelong dedication to the horse and her passion is really evident.
