Claire is the Executive Director of BETA. She looks after the day to day management of the Association and its commercial arm Equestrian Management Consultants Ltd. As well as attending all the Council and Committee meetings, she spends much time liaising with other organisations and members and leads the international export missions to trade fairs overseas.

Claire also convenes the European standards committee responsible for writing the hat standards alongside being a member of the Body Protector committee in both Europe and the UK.

Claire rides as often as work allows, which isn’t often enough for her liking. She owns 2 mares, a Lusitano and a Percheron cross and rides as often as times allows. When not riding she enjoys baking goodies for the office and making preserves as well as walking and gardening
