Our staff at Ranch Rug

Owner: Tim Barnes and his wife Leander

Tim established the business over 20 years ago at his home setting Manor Farm in Stourport. He has ridden all of his life, initially jumping ponies as a junior rider. He competed to a high level and successfully produced difficult ponies from a young age.

Tim married Leander in 2005 and they share their love of horses. Their passion was breeding and together they have produced many young horses. They both love the foals and youngsters and take great pride in showing them. Although they only breed on a small basis with 2 brood mares the young horses have been very successful, achieving wins from local to county standard.


Therefore, they understand how important horses are to people and how important the rug washing and repair service is to keep our equines happy.

Leander has her own neurological physiotherapy business based on the farm. She treats all types of neurological conditions such as Stroke, Head injuries, Parkinsons disease and many other complex conditions. However, she also helps Tim with the day to day running of the rug cleaning business.

They both still ride on a regular basis and love to spend time hacking together in the Wyre forest.


Pauline Potter

Pauline has worked for the family for over 40 years and has diversified with the farm! Initially she worked with the farm animals and had a specific love for the pigs that the farm produced. As times moved on she worked within the riding school and livery yard. When Tim started cleaning rugs she found her niche and loves being in complete control! She now covers all aspects of the business, from taking in rugs and labelling them, to washing, drying and organizing all the repairs. She also helps with the horses and also enjoys watching the foals grow and develop and do well in the show ring.


Megan Newman

Meg is the sewing master of the business. A fantastic seamstress she can repair rugs that have become unrecognizable. Although she is not a horse owner she has become very accustomed to the needs of horses and their owners over the years and can modify straps and buckles to ensure a happy horse! She has also turned her hand to repairing lots of different things including handbags and boat covers!


Together we aim to offer a great service that is entirely based around the horse and the owner!
