	David Easterby Assistant Trainer David was a successful amateur jockey and rode numerous point to point winners. He is also a PTP trainer in his own right, with Silver Groom amongst his prolific winners. He now helps with the training and is often seen on the racecourse handling the PR side of things when Mick is not around.
	Roger Owen Head Lad Also known as 'Roger the Dodger' or 'Dodgy'. Roger leads by example and has the utmost respect of all the lads and lasses in the yard. He's pictured here bandaging Williams Well.
	Dilys Sigsworth Head lass Dilys keeps the Sheep Close yard in order.
	Terry Lucas Terry rode countless winners for us, and now helps with the training.
	Jane Bedford Stable Lass Jane's a smashing lass, a real credit to the yard. She looks after Sporting Gesture for owner Steve Hull, so is no stranger to the winners' enclosure!
	Angeline Green Stable Lass Angeline has worked here for years now! Here she is in the winners enclosure at York in 2005 with Bow Bridge (click for a bigger photo).
	Wendy Jackson Secretary Wendy's seen here on her lunchbreak with the dogs. She's responsible for the administration and the all the entries.
	Serena Brotherton Lady Jockey and work rider Sexy Serena, rides out before going to work as a Solicitor. She's also featured on the jockeys page, have a look here.
	Keshan Stable Lad
	Julian Williams Pupil Assistant Trainer
	Samantha Coward Secretary Samantha is the Saturday secretary and granddaughter of Mr Easterby!
	Richard Clark Blacksmith Often to be seen around the yard, main job: shoeing the horses.
	Steve 'The Fox' Stable Lad Steve is a stable lad and gets his nickname because he once raised a fox! He is responsible for the superb paintings on the new stable doors.
	Jim Dent Jim served for 18 years - "a bloody long time"- as head-lad and well remembers riding against his former boss, who comes from the same vintage, in point-to-points when both were fearless teenagers. Jim rode 49 winners before eventually being "crocked" in a fall in a hunter-chase at Stratford and still pops in to do odd jobs around the yard.
	Mick's Mousers Two beautiful kittens, now fully fledged team members patrolling the farm for mice. Spend most of the day sleeping and prefer to work nights.
