4worldlovers: We bought Claybrooke Stables in September 2006. It is just on the Warwickshire and Leicestershire Border. It used to be a small Riding School, which we ran for 4 years until the insurances, licences etc just got way too expensive so we decided that the best thing to do was close the Riding School. We now just run a livery yard to help tick things along. Mainly now we look after old, sick and injured horses.

I have owned dogs all of my life, German Shepherds for 40 plus years but now we have a new addition to the family, a little Jack Russell Terrier, OMG nuts. We have also recently got another GSD, she is gorgeous.

I have always had a passion for dogs and horses and they have become my world along with my beautiful Daughter and my Partner. I just love helping them in whatever way I can. I love watching them and working out their particular problems, then working with them to help them to overcome their issues.
