This page is devoted to our dedicated team of instructors. Over the years we have attracted very talented Instructors and our current team is no exception.We like to keep a very high ratio of staff to clients.   We have learnt that we need to employ qualified and experienced staff in order to ensure that not only our horses but also all our riders are well looked after and receive the level of personal attention they deserve. All our instructors are CRB Checked  and First Aid Trained.

And finally …

Thanks to all our staff for contributing  none of this would mean a thing without a dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate team to look after the horses,  shop and office. We see ourselves as one big family, we work together and through choice we even socialise together. It is for this reason that Roundknowe Farm functions so well and that is the secret behind our success.
