Laurel Anderson

Intro ~Merryhill Stables Series 17~ Laurel Anderson has his saddlery workshop in one of the light industrial units on the Merryhill estate. He is known as one of the best english saddle makers in the world, and he makes and fits most of the tack worn by the Merryhill event team. Laurel is 45 years old, divorced with 1 estanged grown-up son, Chandler (23), and a grown-up daughter who works in the saddlery with him, Lisette (22). Whilst he specialises in saddles and associated equipment, Lisette specialises in bridles and martingales so they make a good team together. He has had his fair share of relationships since his divorce, some lasting years, but he's never found someone he'd want to marry, and he's currently single. Laurel looks like a grumpy old man, but looks can be deceiving and hes actually a fun loving, out going guy who will chat to anyone and everyone (sometimes too much!). He's a thrill seeker and makes a point of doing something extreme every times he has to go abroad for work. He's skydived in Australia, bungee jumped in Singapore, done a canyon swing in New Zealand, the worlds fastest zipline in Wales. He's active and carefree, and fitness and personalitywise hes much younger than he actually is. You: be whoever you want to be (suggestions: Lisette or Chandler, a client at Merryhill Stables, a client from further afield etc) and take this story where you will.
