Treasurer
Ginny Hanbury

Danielle Reekie – 07429031390
Danielle has been a GWHC member since 2020 when she relocated to Cornwall from Surrey, moving west to pursue her dream of creating and running a fully surfaced Track livery. She competes in the South and SouthEast regions with her spotty pony Atom and enjoys being involved in running the indoor and outdoor GWHC events.
Membership Secretary
Cathy Tucker – 07773 379920
Cathy is the new membership secretary and kindly does the scoring for the IDC events. She learnt to ride (many more years ago than she would like to admit!) at a riding school in South London. Her little sister got a Welsh section A who hated being ridden, so they decided to break him to drive. The 11.2h pony led to a family hobby that then became her parents business. Cathy and her sister would often help out with lessons, weddings and funerals. She got her pony Rocky when he was 6 months and enjoyed many years pleasure driving
Liaison Officer
Mel Winton – 07747896653
Mel has been a member of GWHC for a few years, and assists at events with the rest of the committee. Mel has competed in both ridden and driven disciplines. She currently drives a pair of Dartmoor hill ponies who have also attended several BDS events at shows and pleasure drives.
