Lisa Axer

Yard Manager

“I am from Germany, where i gained lots of experience back and breaking horses. I moved to Ireland where I learnt and expanded my knowledge about breeding and stud management. Since moving to England I have worked for a 4* eventer as his head girl and worked for a well known warmblood stud were I was Head of Stud. I have two horses, Peanut which I event and Walnut who is my new dressage horse. I am excited to work at Allington and to be part of an up and coming yard and see what the future brings.”

Groom

“Hey, I’m Maddie. I’ve worked at Allington since the summer of 2020 and since then I have been lucky to look after and exercise some lovely horses. I knew after leaving college I wanted to work with horses, and found the perfect place at Allington. I’ve had some amazing opportunities come my way and couldn’t have found a better yard for my first “proper” horsey job !”

Kate Bayford

Groom

“Hi, I’m Kate, I have been riding for what feels like my whole life and have been fortunate to have my own pony for the last 13 years. My entire working life has been with horses; from livery to eventing and breeding, I even dabbled in teaching for a few years. To say I live and breath horses would be an understatement, they are my passion.”
