| Although some people have traditional roles assigned to them to ensure the mandate of the club is met, we all multitask and all our committee is hands on in promoting and running all the activities hosted by the club and all bring individual skills and new ideas with them. The running of the club is very much a team effort.
Please contact any of the committee members for information or to put forward your views, ideas or suggestions.

Stephanie Hussey
| Junior Team Manager & CWO /PR
Steph has two daughters Charlotte and Alice. They both have their own ponies and ride for the club in competitions and actively take part in all the clinics.
Three years ago their mare, Sally, gave them an unexpected Easter present - a filly called Tia. At that time Steph said she drew up a three year plan to hone her riding skills and lose a stone in weight so that she could be actively involved in backing their youngster this year. However, she says she has “failed miserably” in this area and sticks to the ground work, leaving the hard riding bit to her daughter Charlotte who, “being younger, bounces off the ground more easily.” Not sure Charlotte would agree.!

Gordon Finnan
| SECRETARY
Gordon has been riding in and around Epping Forest, and a good many other parts of the world, for over forty years but he says he is now best described, by some at least, as a Happy Hacker. He has joined the Club Committee this year (2007) to look after membership matters and looks forward to being able to help out at many of the club’s events

Kate Fitzgibbons

Katie has been riding for most of her 27 years and bought her first horse horse Perle just over 3 years ago. She spends her time enjoying the time they spend together (mainly)!
Katie says she uses Perle for all sorts, “Dressage, XC Showjumping (when she feels like it) and they have even attended a couple of showing shows” Her goal is to get out jumping to get flowing and hope to attend a ODE before the end of 2010.
