Initially, my two eldest daughters Lauren and Nina got me into the bug of horses when they took up riding on their ponies. I later went on to purchase my own horse and started having regular Riding lessons. Within this time I soon realised that I wanted nothing more than to work within the Equine Industry. Has a mature student I went on to gain my Level 1 in BHS Horse Care and Riding.
In 2015 my family and I purchased the land were TFEC now stands. After Immense hard work and a family’s sheer determination TFEC opened for trade in October 2017.
My role in running TFEC keeps me very, very busy! I have numerous roles and responsibities including the running of The Bridle Stop Cafe and the everyday overall running of the Centre and Events.
When I do get time out I love to ride - I’m not going to lie I’m no top class Event Rider and not has brave as my daughters! But even so still love being in the saddle and doing my own thing. I also love to take my daughters out competing and watch the excitement, enjoyment and pride on their faces.
TFEC has lots of exciting future projects in line and I am super excited seeing it all come together.
I am forever grateful for every waking day I spend doing something I love - Follow your dreams and with sheer determination and never giving up, what looks like the impossible can become reality!
Hi, I’m Nina and from a very young age, I have loved nothing more than horses and riding.
At the age of eight, I was very fortunate to own my very first jumping machine pony ‘Rosie’ - When Rosie semi-retired I progressed onto my IDxTB True Juniper. We spent many special years together and I will always be forever thankful to my beautiful girls for everything they taught me.
After leaving school I went on to study at Askham Bryan College, gaining my Level 3 Diploma in Horse Management along with BHS Level 1 and BHS Level 2 in Horse Care and Riding.
In 2015 my family and I purchased the land were TFEC now stands. Whilst True Fate was undergoing construction I went on to work alongside Richard Fahey and achieved my level 3 Diploma in Racehorse Care and Management.
I am continuing to climb the ladder with my BHS qualifications, achieving Stage Two Complete Horsemanship and Stage 3 Coach. I'm now a Fully qualified BHS LEVEL 3 ACCREDITED COACH and I'm very proud to be part off THE BRITISH HORSE SOCIETY.
TFEC keeps me very busy - I love teaching all levels of Riders from Novice to the more advanced, SJ is my preffered forte! I love seeing the thrill my clients get from jumping a small X pole to a full course :)
In my spare time, I love to go out Show Jumping on my rescue TB NALA. We rescued Nala in 2019 were she was so malnutritioned she had only a slim chance of survival. After a lot of love, care, patience, consistancey and time we are now out competing low level and I'm looking forward to going up the grades. I also like spending time with my fiance 'George' and my three dogs, Nova, Lady and Buddy.
My three year old ‘Fate’ also keeps me super busy and entertained, she is growing up into a stunner with a big attitude. I'm just in the process of lightly backing her.
I am super excited to to see what the future holds for Nala, Fate and I along with seeing TFEC develop into what was once a dream!
Hi, I’m Nyah and being born into a horsey family I may as well have been born in a stable. I’ve been riding from being a very young age and have years of experience with horses.
During my final years at school, my family and I began to build our establishment (TFEC)
I have currently achieved my L3 Diploma in work - based Horse Care and Management along with BHS Level 1 in Horse Care and Riding and The Society Of Master Saddlers Introductory to saddle fitting course.
My role within TFEC keeps me very busy but when I do get time out I love nothing more than spending time with my Coloured Cob ‘Pump’ Show Jumping, X Country and Hunting – My boy is one in a million!
Sadly I'm having to take some time out due to a complex knee injury (NOT caused by horses) but will be biting at the bit after my operation to get back in the saddle ASAP!!
Like us all I'm very excited and proud of seeing our family business turn into what was once a dream!
Hi, My name is Bella. I love all Sports especially Football and Horse Riding.
My sisters learnt me to ride on my first pony Moonlight. I love to ride but my passion is football! Apart from football and riding I also like to go to the gym and walk my dog Grey.
I would like to have my own horse again but at this moment in time I am concentrating on my final school year and football.
With four daughters and a wife all keen equine enthusiasts, I didn’t have much choice than to become part of the Equestrian World. In their words “You know where the door is, horses come first”
My knowledge as a Senior Project Manager has enabled me to manage, design and build TFEC.
In my spare time, my passions are football, supporting ‘Manchester United’ and Horse Racing. I also support my daughter ‘Bella’ at all her football matches.
My wife and daughters constantly try to encourage me to have a go riding but after the last time – NEVER again!
After meeting Nina at high school, my now Fiancé I guess like Gav I also didn’t have much choice than to become part of the Equestrian World.
I’m a joiner by trade and help out after work and weekends with anything that requires building, fixing or maintaining on the yard.
In my spare time I like to spend time with Nina and my dogs Nova, Lady and Buddy, I also enjoy all Outdoor Country Sports.
