Bridget
Bridget joined the team in 2007 and deals with memberships and also has the giant task of managing the orders for tickets and merchandise from our online shop. She does a brilliant job and manages to stay remarkably calm when Tiggy has one of her 'mad moments' and does laps of the office sending paperwork flying.
Lou
Lou is the editor of our members magazine ‘The Listening Post’ and also assists with IH marketing. We feel very lucky to have her on our team because at the same time she is working for a pharmaceutical marketing company in London. Lou found her way to IH by taking her 2 year old highland filly, Buffy, on a 5 Day foundation course. Having backed Buffy she moved on (and up) to back Lyra (Trakehner x TB) and these 2 have continued to blossom using IH techniques as the basis for all their training. Lou and husband Sam gained their MRPCH's in December 2010 and are working to become Recommended Associates of IH in the future.

Joanne
Joanne is the bookkeeper's apprentice. She has been with us since 2007 and is reknown for her positive outlook and dedicated attitude. She only works part time as she is a family girl, but when she is here she brings such joy to all other employees. Jo has an excellent eye for fashion and always dresses to impress (IH fashion award winner 2010).
