Mandy

Although we are really sorry that Mandy is no longer a member of staff from 31 March 2008, we are delighted she has realised her ambition of working with police horses and has joined the recently opened Mounted Police Division based at Erddig. However, Mandy will still be instructing the Wrexham Group riders on Tuesday evenings when her new work commitments allow. We all wish her the best of luck.
