Stable Manager Abingdon Riding for Disabled

Sandra Glanville joined us as our new stable manager in October 2011. Sandra comes with years of experience, so offers so much to our yard.

Incharge of schooling and selecting horses

The worker - often seen picking up poo and pulling ragwort

Sandy Tibbles has been with us forever, joining us well over 30 years ago. First as a volunteer and then as a member of staff. Sandy is well known for her positive attitude - she keeps us all very focused!

Often seen around the fields with the lovely Kizzy

Kate Cobbald has also been with us since the early days. Kate has given up much of her precious time over the years as a volunteer and still turns up on a regular basis. Kate is often seen out in the fields doing the jobs that we try to avoid. Kate’s dog Kizzy loves to come and annoy Sandy by sitting on the chairs.

Anita Cowllng joined us in 2014 and can often be seen schooling the horses (amongst lots of other things). Anita is in charge of the training and sourcing of our ponies and horses.
