Having grown up on a working farm and subsequently taken over the management and operation, Catriona has extensive knowledge and first-hand experience of modern-day farming and agriculture. Catriona’s biggest ambition has always been to build a Farm Park that will allow children and families to explore and experience the world of farming.

Having a large family unit with 7 nieces and nephews who are regularly involved in supporting the work that is at the farm and stables. The enthusiasm and life lessons which the children gain on the farm is the inspiration behind Easterton Farm Park.

On leaving school, Catriona entered the world of hospitality and gained invaluable experience in customer service. Working in the 5-star hotel industry for over 24 years she learned various skills one of which was her obsession with organisation and tidiness. This can be seen around the farm and stables today. The Farm Park dream is a constant drive to push her to where we are today.

Kirsty is a BHS Stage 2 and UKCC level 2 qualified coach. In 2012 she graduated at Glasgow University and achieved a first class honour’s in Veterinary Bioscience. The following year, she completed a Master’s in International Business Management at Newcastle University.  Subsequently, she spent the next four years setting up and running a children’s charity. This gave her experience in a variety of life skills including working with animals, children and business development.

Growing up with ‘non-horsey’ parents, her passion for horses remains a mystery to her family. None the less, from the age of seven, she was hooked and has never looked back. She spent the next 8 years falling in love with riding school ponies at Easterton. At the age of 15 she got her first horse, Nemo. They competed successfully in local district shows before progressing to British Showjumping and British Eventing.

Somewhere along the way, Kirsty picked up Mary, a 14.1 TBx with more attitude than she knows what to do with. Mary has since had three beautiful foals (1 more on the way) and inspired Kirsty with a passion for breeding. She has now backed, schooled and successfully competed her first two foals and hopes they will have a bright future in eventing. Her dream was always to combine working with animal and her passion for business leading her into this exciting new venture.
