Youth Ambassadors

Evie Chadwick

Hello, I’m Evie, and I own the Mulberry flock of Coloured Ryelands in Derbyshire. I have been breeding Coloured Ryelands since 2019. I have a small flock of around 14 breeding ewes. I enjoy every part of owning Coloured Ryelands including lambing and taking my sheep to shows near and around Derbyshire. If you see me at shows don’t hesitate to say hello. 

Lucy Carter

Hello, my name is Lucy. I run a family farm in Ashton-In Makefield. I enjoy horse riding, going to young farmers and competing. I personally love coloured Ryelands for their amazing temperament and the brilliant meat which we sell to our local community and a nearby restaurant.  We are continually improving our stock and sell some stock on each year to other breeders. I adore going to the shows to catch up with friends as well as meeting new people. I became a youth ambassador to help other young members get the most from the society. 

Eilidh Garrett

Hello, I’m Eilidh, and I run the Gormack Ryeland Flock in Aberdeenshire. I’ve been breeding Ryelands since 2019 and have a lovely flock of 15 breeding ewes. Some of my highlights include raising and showing my former tup, Gormack Aragon, and connecting with fellow breeders at events like the Highland Show. I’m passionate about promoting youth involvement in the Ryeland Flock Book Society and excited for the opportunities ahead. If you see me at shows or events, feel free to say hi!

Chloe Holmes

Hi, I’m Chloe, I'm based in Northumberland and im part of the Tranwell Coloured Ryeland Flock. My family began breeding Coloured Ryelands in 2011, and we've grown our flock to around 40 breeding ewes. From lambing season to daily checks, I enjoy every aspect of caring for our flock. However, my main passion is showing my sheep and raising awareness about the breed. If you ever see me at a show, don’t hesitate to come over and have a chat! I love sharing the joys of the breed.

Thomas Nash

I’m Thomas Nash, based near Taunton in Somerset at the home of Windsor Coloured Ryelands and Capland Ryelands.  I started keeping sheep in 2016 with two Coloured Ryeland ewe lambs. My flock size has grown steadily over the years and now totals  58 with this years retained lambs.  I enjoy spending the summer months taking them to shows and meeting others with the same passion.  I believe I have learnt many important life skills/lessons as a result of keeping and showing sheep. As I have been helped so much by fellow RFBS members I am keen to pass this on and help any new or young members, whether it be with show prep or young handler tips. 

Scarlett Ridge

Ever since I was tiny, I've been captivated by the world of Ryeland sheep. There's just something special about the bond you form with these gentle creatures. Showing sheep isn't just a hobby for me; it's a passion. From early mornings spent feeding & grooming to the excitement of show day, every moment is a learning experience. I've learned loads from animal husbandry, to the importance of breed standards. Now, at 15, I'm more committed than ever to my sheep. Whether I'm showing or simply enjoying the camaraderie of fellow exhibitors, showing Coloured Ryeland sheep has become an integral part of who I am. I look forward to continuing this journey of showing and sharing my love for these animals.
