I have been riding and owned horses and ponies for 34 years. I was a member of FFRC back in 2003 and was a member of the novice showjumping team. I then rejoined back in 2018. I am now the membership secretary for the club and class myself as a happy hacker nowadays due to having a young daughter who takes up most of my time! I currently have one horse, Banjo and a very cheeky Exmoor pony named Sam who will eventually be for my daughter. I love that Frampton is such a friendly club and there is something for everyone no matter what your level or experience is. I especially enjoy attending our annual camp at Stockland Lovell where we all have so much fun!
