The Committee
CHAIRWOMAN: Ceri M. Jones
Ceri had the idea for Ceffylau Cadfarch Riders after the success of the Brynllwydwyn Fun Ride which she organised on the family farm. Ceri has a BA (Hons) in Equine Studies and has been riding for many years. Her ambition for the group is to give provide events for local riders and showcase the area's wonderful riding opportunites whilst raising money for charites throughout Wales.
SECRETARY: Lisa Markham
Lisa·started riding when she was around 8 years old, had lessons in Ty'n Sarn Dolgellau and has loved it ever since. She has never owned her own horse but enjoys every opportunity to go riding, particularly with Ceri M's horse Patti. Lisa's interest is as strong as ever, especially now she is part of Ceffylau Cadfarch Riders!
TREASURER: Meleri Morgan
Mel has been fortunate enough to have been brought up surrounded by horses all her life and for that reason has been riding since she was a tot. Mel simply enjoys riding and meeting new people while persuing her passion and had no hesitation joining the Cadfarch Committee in raising money for good causes, whilst having fun no matter what your level of experience is!
MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY: Clara Lloyd
Laura Smith
Laura has been riding since she was a small child, always begging and borrowing other people's ponies until she bought Jack in 2007. They enjoy hacking, hunting and fun rides together and hope to do some competing in the future. Laura channelled her interest in horses into her career and works as a Vet in Dolgellau. She joined the Cadfarch committee to help increase the number of activities for riders in this area.
Janet Crisp 
Janet didn't start riding until she was 45 but has not looked back since. Soon after moving to Mid-Wales with her Llanidloes born husband she changed from riding on 2 wheels with the Metropolitan Police to riding on 4 legs when she bought her horse Murphy. He was 4 and Janet was 52, what a learning curve that proved to be. They have tried their hand at most disiplines and have had their ups and downs but both love to hack out in the glorious Welsh countryside. You are never to old to face new challenges.
Jenni Evans
Jenni started riding when she was 11 and spent many years working for rides at a riding school in north Wales where she grew up. She has a BSc(Hon) in Equine Science and while studying in Aberystwyth met her husband and now lives in Llanon. While working on a yard in 2003 Jenni met Eddie a 13.2hh Exmoor cross with a huge personality. After leaving the yard Jenni took Eddie on loan during the winter months, unfortunately the yard closed down in 2007 and Eddie made his home permanently with Jenni. They enjoy any opportunity to get out and about and love the friendly and supportive atmosphere of Cadfarch.
Gill Williams
Gill is a farmer's daughter and ex PE teacher who married and moved to Mid Wales from South Shropshire almost 30 years ago. She came onto the equestrian scene in May 2008 when she started having riding lessons at Bradnant Equestrian Centre near Llanidloes. Realising that this new hobby was "not just a whim", her husband David bought her a 5 Year old Section D gelding 'Marshel' , as a belated 50th birthday present. Gill and Marshel have some great times, joining the Cadfarch Fun Rides whenever they can and trying out lots of different disciplines. Gill who has 3 sons and 2 grandsons has become a stable Nannie by expanding her horse ownership. She now has a 16 year old Section D mare 'Mair' , her yearling foal 'Penderin' and her 1 month old filly foal 'Isla' as well as Marshel all liveried at Bradnant and giving her lots of fun.
