Welcome to Ferry Farm and meet the team!

Violet Hill BSc Equine Studies

Violet has worked in the Show Jumping industry grooming for John Whitaker, in Equine Welfare and during a break from riding due to injury in the Harness Racing industry.

She established Ferry Farm Livery Yard in 1999 and since then has turned it into a thriving livery yard. In 2001 she established Ferry Farm Riding Club which now holds several dates throughout the year.

In her spare time Violet competes at show jumping, dressage and showing with her two horses Black Velvet and Whispering Jet.

Graham Camplin-Smith BSc Equine Studies

Graham worked in the eventing world as a groom for Claire Brazil before moving into showjumping and then going to work at Berkshire Agricultural College. Graham joined Ferry Farm full time in 2004 after having an affiliation with the yard and the Riding Club for several years. He is responsible for the website and is also available for teaching and for schooling horses.

Graham has (finally!!) started competing his young horse Whispering Breeze who, while tolerating dressage, has taken rather a liking to show jumping! In her first two Dressage Competitions she brought home fourth and third places.
