TRANSWALES - Key Persons

Emily was a television producer in London before she met Paul on a weekend riding break! She is now kept busy running the business with Paul while attempting to fit in the occasional short-term television contract during the quieter winter months.

Kirsty Rodgers has been with us for many years too, and knows the local mountain trails like the back of her hand. She is fantastic at looking after riders, inspiring confidence, and making sure they get the most of their rides with us.

Paul practically grew up on a horse and was leading rides from an early age (his father Mike started the business the year that Paul was born). He still loves to ride but he's across everything here so when not trail riding you may find him breaking in young-stock, driving tractors in circles, fixing fences, or cleaning numnahs. Paul starts every morning by baking a loaf of his now-famous lockdown sourdough. Paul Turner has been riding around these mountains since he was 4 years old, first accompanying his father Mike on the routes, and eventually leading rides as soon as he was allowed!

Rosie has been with us for many years (and her mother was a guide with us for many years too!) - she looks after both guests and horses with an unshakeable calmness, and makes sure everyone enjoys an adventurous ride. Her natural seat is inspirational, and in her spare time she is training to become a stunt rider!
