Sue

Proprietor

"My grandparents introduced me to horses at a local show in Kenilworth. From then on riding lessons became the highlight of my week. After getting married and moving to Bulby I rekindled my passion for horses and was introduced to the world of eventing. The smell of horses, hay and leather always evokes happy childhood memories."

Coach & Yard Advisor

"I grew up at Bulby as a Saddle Club Member and haven't stopped being potty about ponies since!

Since becoming a part of the Bulby team in 2017 I have achieved my BHS Stage 3 and BHS Stage 2 Coach and my PC AH Test. 

After 20 years of riding, Bulby enabled me to start my coaching career, which I thoroughly enjoy."

Pony Club A Test

BHS Stage 4, BHSAI

"Daughter of owner, Sue, I have been very lucky to grow up at Bulby. Many of the lovely ponies that I learned to ride on, who fuelled my passion for horses and eventing, are still with us today.

I have been supported hugely by the yard in obtaining my Pony Club A Test, BHS AI and BHS Stage 4, and love sharing knowledge, teaching and watching clients progress.

In my final year of University study, I am more a friendly face, social media whizz and yard advisor than coach."

"Having learnt to ride at 4yrs old horses have always been my first love. My passion is dressage having competed a number of horses up to PSG. Training young horses and breeding is one of my favourite things about working in the world of horses. And teaching clients to achieve what they think is an unachievable goal always makes my day."

"" I had my first riding lesson at Bulby in November 2008 and have continued riding since. I bought Jack in 2015 who was raised at Bulby. We have gone onto unaffiliated dressage, show jumping and cross competitions. I left Bulby in 2018 to do Early Years Training but have now returned. I am a qualified Early Years Educator and Teaching Assistant. I love spending time with the children and sharing my knowledge with them!"

Izzy

"I had ponies from an early age into my 30s and loved exploring the surrounding woodlands and countryside.

After gaining my childcare qualifications I first came to work at Bulby in 2001 as a groom/nanny and have lots of fond memories of a tiny Diana and her pony Polo.

I came back down to the yard full time in 2008 to help develop the centre and combine my love of working with children and horses with the pony club. In 2011 I left on more nanny adventures and to have my own family and now I’m back to rekindle my love of teaching and educating the grassroots of pony club. "
