A view across the fields...

MY FAMILY

I am very lucky to have my family supporting me. They all live at the farm.

My parents, Gerald and Nadine have always been an enormous support to me and both thoroughly enjoy their racing. My Dad knows a lot about racing and is always happy to share his views and ideas with me. My Mum is the perfect hostess and an excellent cook, she also loves her racing!

My daughter, Megan also enjoys being part of the team, and regularly rides out and comes racing with me when school allows. She also regularly gives me her opinion.

My brother, Jeremy and my sister-in-law, Dale run the farm. The racing business and the farming business run side by side. It's a wonderful way of life.

HAYLEY WILLIAMS

Hayley started riding horses when she was about 3 years old. Although she never owned her own horse she had two on full loan when she was 9 years old until she was 15.

Hayley started working at Gary Moore's yard when she was 14 years old where she worked at weekends. She stayed here for 2 years and then went to college to study hair and beauty. It was during this time she realised it wasn't her preferred career so went on the Racing School's 9 week course to enable her to get a full time position in racing.

After the 9 week period Hayely went to Sheena's yard for work experience (courtesy of Jamie Goldstein's Dad!) and she has been there ever since.
