Robin & Claire married in 1986, the same year that Claire qualified as a McTimoney therapist enabling her to be on hand to treat any back problems that arise in the yard, both equine & human! Prior to that she had taken a degree in biological sciences and ran a veterinary pathology lab for several years, which enables her to have a professional insight into taking and interpreting blood tests.

As well as looking after the horse’s backs, and running her own business treating both people in the clinic at Alne Park, and clocking up the miles treating horses away from the yard, Claire assists in the day to day running of the yard & office. Currently grounded from riding out after a knee injury, Claire oversees any veterinary problems that arise and deals with all the other day to day goings on in a busy yard.
