Yard Manager

Rebecca was your typical pony mad child, this passion has remained with her and she is never happier than when among her ponies. She started working at NRC as a volunteer in her spare time and is now our full time Yard Manager. Rebecca loves taking out hacks and treks in the beautiful mountains and glens that surround the centre. She also enjoys working with young ponies and helping out at Saddle Club and Pony Club.

Rebecca has a BA Degree in Outdoor Education and is a qualified instructor in almost every outdoor activity under the sun. Since graduating from University in 2004 she has been travelling the world, coaching a variety of outdoor sports and leading expeditions. After many years of exciting adventures she has returned to her home town and what she believes to be the most beautiful place on earth. Having walked and climbed most of Scotland’s Mountains she is now embarking on tackling them by horse back with her young Highland Pony, Tess, who she shares with her Mum. Rebecca’s latest adventure took her to the rural Algarve where she worked as a Trek Leader for a British owned Riding Centre.

Along with Claire and Pat she enjoys exploring and going on multi day wilderness rides. She has a particular interest in Navigation and is working with Tess to get her ready to compete in ‘LE TREC’ competitions in the future.

Rebecca is currently working towards an HND in Equine Studies and eventually aims to continue on to a Degree in Equine Science. Rebecca has just completed the BHS Equine Tourism Ride Leader Qualification in early September.
