Our Branch is led by our District Commissioner helped by our Committee. The committee is made up of volunteers who are parents, relatives and friends of our members. We have a fantastic team who dedicate an enormous amount of their time to making everything happen in the branch. We are extremely grateful for all they do and for all the help we receive from parents.

Lizzie Dearn

Coach
Hi, I’m Lizzy. I am an Accredited BHS Stage 3 Coach in Complete Horsemanship. I have great memories growing up as a member of the Dartmoor Pony Club so it is lovely to be able to teach the members and still be involved with the club. I teach all ages and abilities, and love to help people progress with their riding whilst having fun with their horses. I also enjoy working with young horses, helping to give them a good start in their ridden career. I attend regular training and competitions and I’m hoping to get out more this summer!
