VICKY GRINNALL

Wife to Rob and mother to Daniel, Vicky is the Farm Manager, workhorse and drive behind Clay Farm.

Her efforts and input ensure that the farm is well run and tidy, that the visitors have an experience to be remembered and that our customers have a good deal. She is passionate about the production of quality animals and ensures that those show-casing our farm are turned out to perfection. Her eye for quality ensures that we can offer for sale the very best animals that we can produce.

Stock she has produced have won at major shows in the ownership of Clay Farm and others to whom she has sold stock.

Vicky (nee Letherbarrow) was European Junior Show-jumping Champion in 1985 and a part of the winning team - something she is very proud of, but at the same time very modest about.

DANIEL GRINNALL

Daniel Grinnall, the latest addition to the partnership, was born in June 2005, sadly too late to ever meet his Grandfather, Mick, but nevertheless, a beneficiary of all that he began.

Daniel enjoys the shows and farm sales above all else and in his first year of showing sheep won several prizes including first at Monmouth Show and third at Tenbury.

On his pony Gleiniant Spindrift, he was second in a strong open class at Rock show at the tender age of just 3 years old.

He now enjoys helping on the farm with the sheep, pygmy goats and Kune Kune pigs.

Daniel is at Abberley Hall School
