Put a name to a face and find out more about our team below.
Nicole
Ellie
Isobel
Jade
Director & Founder
Jade eventually got her own first horse aged 17. A beautiful jet black thoroughbred ex race horse named Billy, who although at times was very uncooperative, made a stunning show hack. Sadly 8 years later it was found he had kissing spines and was sent HEROs horse charity for ex race horses.
Since then, Jade has thrown herself into business which is her true passion in life.
Achieving a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Business, Jade is a passionate and driven business woman, and enjoys all aspects of business.
Jade is also a Master Saddle Fitting Consultant, yet spends most of her time running the business and buying Pizza’s for the team.
If Jade were a horse, she would be a fiery chestnut Thoroughbred mare. She is strong-willed, determined, and driven and takes the herd to new pastures. She will shake her head and stomp her feet if she doesn't want to do something. She is the alpha mare of the herd.
Amy
Master Saddle Fitting Consultant
Since then Amy has achieved a First Class BSc (Hons) degree in Human and Equine Sports Science covering everything from anatomy to nutrition to biomechanics relating to how the horse moves. Amy gained experience working at a local racing yard, aswell as working at a stud dealing with foals, stallions, backing and schooling competition horses. Amy then went on to run her own business producing horses for sale, whilst competing British Dressage up to Elementary level.
Amy uses her expert eye to thoroughly check all saddles which come through the door to ensure they are sound and fit for purpose.
Since joining The Saddle Bank, Amy has qualified as a Master Saddle Fitting Consultant. When she is not working at The Saddle Bank HQ, she really enjoys meeting her clients on saddle fit appointments and of course their owners!
If Amy were a horse she would be a typical, reliable, yet nimble Connemara pony. She turns her hoof to everything and will jump everything put in front of her. She is a true all-rounder.
Victoria
Customer Service Buyer
She now spends her time competing British Dressage at Medium level with her stunning horse Gio, a 10 year old KWPN gelding. In her spare time she is also a trainee judge for British Dressage.
In 2021, Victoria purchased an IDXTB foal called Double Time Devotion or ‘Dev’ for short. She hopes to event him in the future.
Joining The Saddle Bank in 2021 as the Customer Service Buyer, Victoria is responsible for purchasing and making sure The Saddle Bank is well stocked. She knows every model inside and out and is an our brand expert.
If you have a saddle to sell, Victoria is your gal!
If Victoria were a horse, she would be a Dutch Warmblood. She loves to get plaited up, put her dancing shoes on and perform to the best of her abilities.
Adrian
Account Manager & Director
With a love for talking and relationship building, Adi has naturally transitioned into managing saddle fitter and trade accounts. If you are a saddle fitter and looking to work with The Saddle Bank, Adi is your go-to guy!
Although Adi is not a rider, he has a passion for the business and picked up the lingo really quickly! Adi has been around horses for a while and has sat on Jade’s old horse a couple of times.
If you call through to The Saddle Bank, there is a chance you may speak to Adi as he loves talking to people!
If Adi were a horse he would be a Shetland pony. Friendly and approachable, yet can be headstrong, stubborn, and uncooperative, particularly towards the Alpha mare.
Yazmynn
Customer Service Adviser
Yazmynn now owns a beautiful 16.2 Irish sports horse called Bella. She is so honest and gentle and loves her work, especially if it involves poles.
Yazmynn joined The Saddle Bank in 2023 as a Customer Service Advisor. She is on hand to help you answer any questions you have when it comes to buying or selling your saddle!
If Yazmynn were a horse, she would be a Friesian. Having a calm and docile temperament and a willingness to learn; being friendly and versatile.
Fran
Bookkeeper
Fran is not horsey herself but is Jade's stepmum, so she has been around horses for a long time. She has an eagle eye and is extremely thorough in her work.
In her spare time, Fran loves to walk and run with her border collie, Toby, as well as hiking, reading, and yoga. If Fran were a horse, she would be a German Riding Pony: kind, reliable, willing to learn and perform, and with a fighting spirit.
Megan
Saddle Assistant
Megan's first pony was called Rosie, a Chestnut Welsh Section D Mare with white socks, Rosie definitely lived up to the Welshie and Chestnut mare reputation!
Megan's next horse was a Connemara called Black Woodland Forrest, or Cloudy for short. Cloudy was Megan's horse of a life time. The first two times Megan tried Cloudy she fell off. Her friends told her he had a reputation for being dangerous. Megan had his back and teeth sorted then addressed his bolting issue. After this, Cloudy and Megan formed the best partnership. As Juniors they successfully competed in all Riding Club Championship events, Pony Club teams and in 2019 won the Connemara Junior Performance horse of the year.
Megan has a passion for equine nutrition and offers an independent Equine Weigh Bridge service. She is also currently bringing on two youngsters whom she hopes to event in the future.
If Megan were a horse she would be a Welsh Section D; loyal, quirky but with a willingness to work and a strong work ethic.
Temeka
Customer Service Manager
We are excited to reintroduce Temeka, a dedicated and passionate member of our team who rejoined us in April 2024 as a Customer Service Advisor and was swiftly promoted to Customer Service Manager. Temeka initially joined our team in March 2021 and made a significant impact with her enthusiasm and expertise before leaving in August 2022 to pursue a career as a Equine Veterinary Nurse.
Temeka's journey with horses began at a very young age. She started horse riding at just 3 years old and got her first pony, a Welsh B named Flame, when she was 10. Together, Temeka and Flame attended pony club, where she honed her skills and developed a deep love for equestrian activities. This passion led her to pursue a Horse Management Level 3 diploma at Moulton College, equipping her with extensive knowledge and hands-on experience.
Temeka is the proud owner of a 14hh Welsh C gelding named Joey and a lovable French Bulldog named Zeus. In her spare time she also loves travelling, walking and Pilates.
In her current role as a Customer Service Manager, Temeka loves speaking with clients on the phone and helping them find their ideal saddle. She is responsible for the day to day running, ensuring that everyone received their order on time. Her genuine passion for horses and extensive equestrian background make her a perfect fit as a Saddle Banker.
If Temeka were a horse, she would be an Icelandic pony. Small, yet strong, she is very friendly, with a big personality.
