Meet the ScotNorth Team

Chair - Lisa Hamer

Lisa is based in Edinburgh and currently has 2 ex racehorses, The Count (aka Brian - see picture) who after a difficult start is proving to be a bit of a jumping star and Winter Ramble (aka Rambo) who is 17 hands of ''Victor Meldrew'' personified as he is not growing old gracefully !

Lisa has been involved in re-homing and re-training ex racehorses for the past 14 years.

Secretary - Sandra Samuels

Sandra is based in Yorkshire and currently has 4 ex racehorses Bowler's Boy (Bobby - see picture, ridden by P Gunn), Relix (Lexi), Duke Orsino (Duke) and Palmerston Place (Bugsy). 

Sandra runs a small racehorse re-training and re-homing operation and will be looking to rehome all but Bobby to make room for the next intake :-)

Treasurer - Mike Desoer-Forster

Mike owns ex racehorse Hawthorn Prince.  They are just getting to know each other as they have only been together a few months but ''H&M'' are coming on great as a team.

Merchandise & Marketing - Michelle Cook

Michelle owns ex racehorses Prophit's Pride (Prof - see picture) and Southborough Lad (Parker). 

Prof is her wee star and they have won best turned out at Musselburgh ex racehorse parades and highest placed ex racehorse in dressage.  Parker will just be coming into ridden work this year so ....... watch this space.

Co-Ordinator (Scotland) - Gemma Thomson

Gemma rides ex racehorse Leading Fairy (see picture) and plans to event him if she can ever get enough time away from her demanding job to get him (and her) fit enough.

Co-Ordinator (The North) - Nicola Falcus

Nicola owns ex racehorse Hidden Exit aka Maggie.  

Nicola nearly lost Maggie to colic and all ScotNorth members have a very special place in their hearts for this very brave mare who fought back and now look at her (see picture).

Co-Ordinator (Scotland) - Lindsey Bingham

Lindsay owns many showjumpers, her 2 main boys being Coisty and Bruiser (see picture) - but she does not have an ex racehorse - YET !!!

Coisty and Bruisers mum (Evita) was a very succesfull PTP mare and was bought at doncaster after injuring her fetlocks so they do have ''ex racehorse'' blood in their veins - which expains why they are both so brave and bold !

Planning Committee - Claire

Claire is in The North and has a rather stunning dark bay gelding Chief.  They enjoy showing and hacking.......and the Club of course !

 Planning Committee - Lynda

Lynda is in Scotland and has a big equine family.  Winslow Boy (Dennis the Menace) is her ex racehorse, Flynn is her lovely 17h IDxTB, Tammy is her companion pony and Dougie the Donk is the cutest wee donkey on 4 legs.

Lynda saw Winslow at Perth one day and said to Lisa ''if he ever needs a home I want him'' - very dangerous to say that to Lisa !! 3 months later Lisa delivered Dennis to his new mum.
