Mark brings decades of business leadership and equine insight to support the heritage of Crabbet. Preserving vital historical treasures alongside the living treasures - the horses carrying the original bloodlines of the desert that founded the Crabbet Stud of Lady Anne and Wilfrid Scawen Blunt in 1878- is essential to ensure this remarkable history is not lost to future generations.

Michele brings a wealth of skills to the charity, drawn from a long and distinguished career as a Senior Police Officer. Her experience across leadership, governance, risk and operational management equips her exceptionally well for the many facets of running both a charity and the trading business that supports it.

John brings a wealth of business and leadership experience to the board of trustees. A committed endurance rider and owner of several Crabbet horses, he is an avid supporter of the breed in the UK. He has been instrumental in helping secure valuable outcross bloodlines for the small domestic breeding pool, facilitating the import of several pure Crabbet horses from Australia.

Peter Robinson's path to becoming the Stud Manager of The Plaister Charity and more recently Site Manager at The Grange equestrian Centre is one of the most unlikely in equestrianism. As a child, he was terrified of horses.

Natasha Baker (Tash) has been the first aider at the Grange for several year. She comes from an equine background and achieved her BHS Stage 3 before changing career paths and joining the NHS, where she has worked for 23 years.

Becca manages everything from dressage and showjumping competitions to dog shows and large-scale demonstrations. She holds a BSc in Equine Science and Management and competes her own horses in dressage and showing, so knows exactly what makes a show day work.

My passion for horses began through my parents, and I have grown up around them from a young age.
