Katie Attenborrow: Assistant Manager
I have been at Swallowfield for 3 years where I previously competed
in British Show Jumping competitions. It was after I bought my horse
Ramses G, that I caught the dressage bug. I currently compete at
Elementary level and our highest achievement was competing for
Central Byrds at the inter-reigionals at Keysoe last year.
I also enjoy teaching and help out at the West Warwickshire
Pony Club, this year gaining my UKCC level 2.
In my spare
time I enjoy shopping, socialising and going to concerts.

I have been based here at Swallowfield for 2 years now and own
three show jumpers, from novice to advanced level. I work on the
yard caring for the horses,
and jump the liveries' horses, ride the naughty ones and am in
charge of all the clipping.

I am 15 years old and have been based at Swallowfield since February 2011 with Basil,
and my sister Meggy loans a pony here called Smokey from Marnie Winyard,
and we both work here at the weekends. I am a BYRDS central rider and train
with Jo. I help run the shows and keep the yard and arenas in ship shape for
the liveries and competitors. I enjoy hacking out all the horses and doing
their fitness work and hope to work with horses full time in the future.

I have worked at Swallowfield part - time from June
2011 and moved my horse Amigo here in August. We are
currently competing at Elementary level, and am able
to juggle competing, working part time here with also
being a mum! Since being here at Swallowfield, I
know my horse will be well looked after when I am
not here, as everything is really flexible, and I
do not have to worry about anything. I also train
here with Jo, have moved up from Prelim to elementary level in 6
months and enjoy the social scene with all he other
staff and liveries!
