Rokhsareh (Roxy) Vahid

Owner and Manager

Roxy's grandfather was a farmer so she grew up on a farm. She picked up horse riding in June 2024 after losing her grandmother. Since then, Roxy has had a crash course in equine care by reading various books and learning from knowledgable and competent horsemen and horsewomen. She has great access to incredible professionals for advice when necessary.  

 

Roxy loves horses and believes in creating a respectful bond with horses. She believes that a great bond with a horse means respecting a horse's boundaries whilst also not allowing them to dominate. She does not believe in harsh and disciplinarian approach of training. Roxy has formed this bond with her own horse, Persil, who lives at Ironwood Stables.

 

Roxy is also a consultant at Forest & Co solicitors.
