It all started with hunting

   Martha is always happy to be around horses - and ponies!

 

Martha Brister has spent much of her life on and around horses and that interest has rubbed off on her three children, Charlie, Campbell (both grown up - or at least they are meant to be!) and Toller (age 6) although she admits it was all pretty rough when they started. “The boys were always quite happy to fang around on their horses but Charlie reached a point when he wanted to come better than last … and that’s when he took himself off to learn how to do dressage. I would probably prefer that Charlie was in a more secure job than horses ... but there is a lot to be said for being happy in your job."
