Meet Team CRE

Caron Roberts

'The Boss'
​(aka 'Batman')

​Having non ‘horsey’ parents and starting in the industry as a working pupil myself I truly understand the value of hard work and correct training. I always strive to deliver high standards to our livery clients and care for the horses as individuals as well as maintain a busy coaching diary.
None of this is possible without a great team so I am committed to delivering their training program so they can gain as many qualifications as possible during their time at CRE. Not forgetting to try and maintain the balance between the work I love and family time :-) 
“ I am one of the lucky ones who love what they do !"

Tammy Thornton

Caron's Personal Assistant
(aka 'Robin')

 After many years working in the corporate world as a Project Manager I made the decision to follow my heart and be a 'workaholic' in an industry I love. The rest, as they say, is history .....With Caron as a mentor I was able to achieve my BHS stage 4 Intermediate Stable Manager's Certificate with Distinction. 
​No 2 days are the same and the challenge is always to fit more and more into 1 day lol.  Very rewarding to be part of such a close team where the horses always come first. I spend much less time in the saddle these days  however I have added many new skills to my bow which means I hope to achieve most of the challenges 'Batman' comes up with. 

Lucy Forbes

​​Full Time Groom

Previously I had worked at a horse and donkey sanctuary near my home in Cornwall, but I had little knowledge of both the care and riding of horses and wanted to learn and gain my BHS qualifications. I started at CRE in 2015 as an Apprentice which mean't making the big move from home. Since joining I have received lots of training and gained my NVQ Level 2 and 3, BHS Stages 1 & 2 Cpmplete and stage 3 care as well as gaining my HGV licence.  Before arriving at CRE I had never had the opportunity to compete. Caron matched me with opportunities to loan horses as well as buying my first horse which enabled me to start competing.   I am now competing at 90 level in eventing and have recently moved to novice level dressage with my new horse Arthur. When I finished my Apprenticeship in 2018 Caron offered me a Groom's position within Team CRE.

Apprentice Groom

Before joining Team CRE I spent two years working at a racing yard aswell as breaking in horses and ponies at a private yard. Wanting to gain more practical experience and qualifications, I am now studying for my NVQ level 2 and BHS Exams here at CRE. I find the professional and organised approach at CRE very supportive for my apprenticeship. I’ve loved my time here so far, and I’m excited to continue to learn more about the equine industry.
