Livery Yard Manager

Claire Gates BHSAI

After leaving school in 2000 I attended Pibwrlwyd College in Carmarthern on a 2 year National Diploma in Equine Business Management where I attained my Stage I certificate. I then moved to Gloucester to train at Huntley School of Equitation for a year where I attained my Stage II and III certificate.

In 2003 I was appointed Head Groom at a Show Jumping Yard based in Cirencester after almost a year at the yard I decided to move back to Wales. I successfully obtained a post at Rheidol Riding Center, Capel Bangor, during this period I gained my BHSAI qualification and went on to teach clients at the yard. Following a period of some 3 years I decided to move on and set up my own breaking and schooling business as well as freelance teaching and riding horses for their owners.
