Oliver has been training for over 25 years during which time he has notched up around 800 winners. Among these are 6 Cheltenham Festival winners:

The West Awake - Sun Alliance Novice Hurdle / Sun Alliance Novice Chase 1987/88 (still the only horse to complete the double)
Rebel Song - Sun Alliance Novice Hurdle 1988
Aldino - Grand Annual Chase 1991
Young Pokey - Arkle Chase 1992
Coulton - Cathcart Chase 1995
 

Tarnya married Oliver in September 1993 they have two children Sabrina aged 16 and Archie aged 13. Tarnya rode as a N.H. jockey prior to meeting Oliver and rode winners both point to pointing and then as a professional under rules (47 to be precise). The highlight of her career came in 1989 when riding in the Grand National on a horse called Numerate pulling up at the 21st fence. Hobbies include cricket, cooking and supporting Aston Villa, which gives both Oliver and the lads something to tease her about most Monday mornings!

Tom has joined for the 2010/11 season having previously worked for Tom George for a couple of seasons. Prior to working for Tom, he spent a year at Juddmonte and three years at Highclere. He spent six months gaining some business experience with his Father's company, Haygain.

Tom is an out and out sports fanatic. He is supports Bath at  Rugby, Hampshire at Cricket, and Arsenal at Football. If he can find time during his busy schedule, he is also partial to a little fishing and hunting.

We are hoping Tom will be a big asset to the team at Rhonehurst.

James has worked for over 15 years in Bloodstock Shipping, so has a wealth of experience behind him in this sphere. In 2010 he launched his own company, Luck Greayer Bloodstock Shipping Ltd, along with former collegue, Lucy Greayer.

James is very talented having ridden at Advanced level in Eventing. Also, he has ridden in over 100 races including at the Cheltenham Festival.

He hung up his racing boots in 2000 but bravely dusted them off to point to point during the 2010 season on a new purchase, Mikado Melody.

After a shaky start James had some fantastic rides on MM and was placed a couple of times. Unfortunately, the season ended with a bang, when James and MM had a disagreement over which side of the running rail they should go. I think James has now hung his boots back up but who knows if they might be dusted off again in another 10 years!

Hats is another regular work rider at Rhonehurst. Hats started her own marketing company, called HRSM Ltd in 2006. She also works part time on the Marketing Team for Newbury Racecourse.
