JOE HARRIS
Joe is 5 and rides CARDI, his 23 yr old mountain pony. Joe likes jumping and Handy Pony. He enjoys doing things at his own speed - walk, although out hunting he does trot and he does little jumps. Joe also holds any horse whose reins are shoved into his hands!
Joe has moved on in 2007, He has a new pony called Caughley Bumble Bee, she's a 4yr old Sec B, he's only been out a couple of times this year with her + got 5th at Anglesey County in the Handy Pony(the 2nd time she'd been ridden!) + he won 3 trophies at the Anglesey Equestrian Club end of season awards for being placed in the working hunter pony section + the begginer jumping.
CONNOR HARRIS-MURRAY
Connor at11 months does a lot less riding than any one for now (in fact all of it was done in the nine-months before he was born) but he is very helpful when it comes to giving mum time off to ride. Give him time, he'll be showing us all how to do it (for now, he just wonders "would that horse fit in my mouth?!")

SALLY HARRIS
Chief-Cook and Bottle-Washer. Sally is the general manager, driver, secretery, groom etc. She does as much riding as Connor allows. She organises training, events, shows, breeding, etc. She does a little housework (when she really can't avoid it)and sometimes manages to ride CHARLI, her own horse that she events, and does a little of everything when she's not talking on the phone and doing the million other things it takes to run this show.
DR HARRIS
Aka Fay Harris, Gran is a most important member of the team. Gran is in charge of jam-butties, chocolate biscuits, photos, pleasure rides, videos, and moral support. She is the 'Team-Physio' struggling to keep the Chief-Cook's back (put out of sinc by literally producing the Team) mobile with her 'core-stability' exercises. She has a huge knowledge of Thoroughbred and Arab breeding and of child and horse psychology.
SUSIE BROWN
Susie is our hard working, indispensible computer genius. Without Susie so much would not be possible. She is also brilliant at looking after youngstock, broodmares, vets, feeding, correspondence, advertising etc, all of which she does in her own limited spare time. Susie has a HUGE horse of her own known as BOB. Bred by Susie, by FOXGLEN ARANMORE out of FOXHOLLOWPOLLY (WARDLORD). She competes in Ridden Hunter, Hunter Triels, Dressage, Eventing, and especially hunting.
Susie Brown on Foxhollow Mr Sparkes ( Bob )
We have a huge amount of help and support from a great many others including our wonderful Farrier John Lancaster, with his invaluable sense of humour and endless patience, Dewi Williams, the Vet without whose help a lot would not have been possible. Tony & Paula Chapman, Tony is an excellent Photographer and Paula keeps us going on many a day with supplies of spare tack, chrisps, drinks, lifts and baby minding, Paula has a number of our semi-retired horses at her beachside home. The Jessups who have helped with everything imaginable for at least 20 years and somehow manage to still look pleased to see us. Meirion Jones of MACHNO STUD, Meirion's experience, advice, and knowledge are second to none, his Stallions are the best quality and most reliable stock getters, between Meirion and his horses they make the difficult and stressfull job of breeding and producing quality ponies as hassle-free as it can get. There are many others who will get added to the list as time permits.
Sheila Griffin
Sheila is the latest addition to our team. Shiela is our Yard Manager. She Breeds Exmoors, practises Reiki + is very good with the animals, All animals actually. She very helpfull + is a brilliant right hand man. We call her my PA, more like a personal organiser though, as I so badly need organising + she manages to do it somehow!
