Hon. Secretary
Helen started riding at a young age, and finally realised her life long dream of owning her own horse in 2019 after having two children. She joined the committee in 2021, taking on the role of secretary where her main responsibilities are ensuring the clubs records and registrations are accurate and up to date. Being new to the competition scene in Jersey she hopes to be able to share the opinion of a grassroots member in the committee.

God knows how but as a skinny kid I got into ponies and slowly up to team chasing (when my mum could no longer watch). Boyfriends arrived and ponies left but 20 years later my mate introduced me to Col and the rest is history, that was 2010. Col is now semi-retired but My Harley keeps me active and the summer of 2021 was just the best with us whizzing around doing one day events.
