CAT VEAL

Groom

We are fortunate and excited to have Cat stepping up from a freelance role to a more permanent team member. Cat is already familiar with all of our horses, as she has been based with us for a number of years loaning a horse on livery. Cat's attention to detail is second to none and she does a super job in ensuring that all the horses are happy and healthy.

Claire Penfold

Freelance groom

Claire is one of our long standing DIY liveries, and doubles up with being  a great help in covering the yard for us when we are away at competitions with Cat. Claire also has a third interest in our team as an owner of Dantastic, a horse Felicity occasionally competes on her behalf. She is brilliant with all of our horses, and is usually seen whizzing round the yard quicker than the speed of light!

CAROLINE MOORE

Trainer

Caroline has been training Felicity since 2013, and is not only an incredible trainer who leaves no stone unturned, but an amazing mentor for Felicity too. Being the Junior Team Trainer, Caroline helped Felicity to her best performance at the European Championships 2016. She is extremely generous with her time, a huge confidence giver, and always on hand for any help or advice. Although Felicity is now a Senior, Caroline continues to be a vital part of Felicity’s, and the horses, progression up the levels.
