Tim: The Quiet Force Behind MEPT’s Foundations

At MEPT, the magic isn’t just in the horses — it’s in the people who care for them. And behind every stable door, fence post, and feed bucket, you’ll find Tim.

For over 25 years, Tim has been the charity’s behind-the-scenes powerhouse. A skilled structural engineer by trade, he brings not only technical expertise but a deep, steady love for animals and the land they call home. While others may see a broken gate or a muddy track, Tim sees a solution — and quietly gets to work.

Tim’s days (and often nights) are filled with the kind of care that rarely makes headlines but always makes a difference. From repairing fences to managing drainage, Tim’s presence ensures that MEPT runs smoothly, safely, and with heart. He’s the one who checks the stables when the wind howls, who plans the next shelter before anyone asks, and who knows every inch of the land like an old friend. His nightly feed rounds and late-night pony checks are part of MEPT’s rhythm — a quiet reassurance that someone is always looking out for the herd.

Tim’s eye for detail has shaped MEPT’s physical landscape — not just in structures, but in atmosphere. There’s a calmness to the charity’s rhythm, a sense of reliability and care, and much of that is thanks to Tim’s quiet leadership. He doesn’t seek the spotlight, but his work makes it possible for others to shine — horses, volunteers, visitors, and staff alike.

In a world that often celebrates the loudest voices, Tim reminds us of the power of quiet resilience. His commitment to kindness, practicality, and the wellbeing of every creature on site is woven into MEPT’s foundations — quite literally.

So next time you visit Jigsaw or Rainbow’s End, take a moment to notice the fences, the shelters, the pathways, and the peaceful hum of a place that works. That’s Tim’s handiwork. And it’s part of what makes MEPT feel like home.
