Sally Lowe
Sally has loved horses and all animals as far back as she can remember and working with animals has always been a long term dream. Sally lives with her husband of 16 years and their 8 year old son in Norfolk along with a few 4 legged family members! When not busy with family or animals, Sally runs a photography business which she finds very rewarding. After taking on a very complex rescue dog in 2017 she completed a diploma in Canine Training and behaviour to help with his long term rehabilitation and has since also gone on to do a Puppy Training diploma and Animal Assisted Therapy diploma in the hopes that her skills can help children and adults alike that could benefit from puppy power! After meeting Cathy in 2020 she has reignited her passion for horses and would like to work towards becoming a Horse Agility instructor. Since joining Heart to Hand, Sally completed diplomas in Stable Management and Horse Psychology to provide better support to the team and found being around the horses through out the pandemic incredibly peaceful and rewarding. She truly believes that animals and the unconditional love and trust they put in us can be instrumental to our health and wellbeing.

Angie Gorman
Skye & Angus are our two little dogs. Skye is a West Highland Terrier and she is 13 years old. Sky is deaf so take care if you are moving your car anywhere near her as she will not hear. Angus is Skye's son and he is 6 years old. He is a Westie X Norfolk Terrier. Both dogs are always eager for cuddles. They take their job of welcoming visitors very seriously, and supervise everything that happens. They are sometimes a bit naughty, but with such cute faces they aren't in trouble for long.
