 Justin Chittenden spent 12 years in the City of London as an investment banker with SG Warburg. In 1997 he swapped his brogues for steel toe-cap boots, his car for a van and thus began his return journey to his home county Somerset via property development in Bath. Justin's ability to manage a construction team and understand complex technical issues complements Eamonn's knowledge and passion for natural horsemanship. The combination of their skills has resulted in the Seawalker system.

A native Dane, ML completed a Diploma at Copenhagen Business School then went to London in 1992 for a three months business course and never went back. Intending to become a corporate financier she gained a traineeship at the investment bank SG Warburgs where she met Justin and realised it was better to date a banker than be one. Instead she went to UCL and completed a degree in Economics, then working briefly for one of the major advertising networks at the time (Lowe Group) before joining Agency.com in account management. Here ML joined the internet industry working on accounts such as Compaq (PCs) TXU (Utilities) and Heidelberg (printing).Since moving to Somerset in 2001 with Justin and their two children (Mia 8 and Joe 6), ML manages the marketing and commercial aspects of Equine Health Centre. She enjoys reading the economist, cleaning out the guinea pigs hutch and the odd yoga retreat with her girlfriends.

| Mark joined the Royal Air Force in 1986. He completed a three year apprenticeship in aeronautical engineering and then joined No7 Squadron in 1989 to work on Chinook helicopters based at RAF Odiham. Over the next nine years he was involved in the First Gulf War, the former Republic of Yugoslavia and several other less well know hot spots. In 1998 he left Odiham and moved to RAF Wyton; to become a mathematical modeller and logistical analyst (having now been promoted to Sergeant). After five years of computer based work he now felt the need to return to engineering so moved north to RAF Kinloss on the Murray Firth to work on Nimrod aircraft, once again having the pleasure of visiting the gulf region many times. After a short stay in Scotland promotion brought a move to Somerset and a job based at Westland Helicopters in Yeovil. 2009 found Mark at the end of 23 and a half years service at the rank of Chief Technician and the decision was made to move onto pastures new. He left the RAF, but not much changed as he then spent 2 years providing specialist advice to the RAF as a consultant. In 2011 Mark joined Equine Health Centre as Maintenance Manager.Mark is engaged to be married in 2012, he has two cats, two dogs and is very keen on clay pigeon shooting, DIY, boats and motorcycling. |

 Justins Chittenden's company Clovis developments Ltd built the new facilities at Horses First Racing's organic farm in Wiltshitre in 2004. An award winning property designer and developer, Justin managed the building works and advised on the installation of equine equipment. Eamonn had spent two years researching equine hydrotherapy, and asked Justin to install a walker to "get horses walking in chilled, salted water." The Seawalker was developed and subsequent success at the races produced good media coverage. Other trainers started asking whether the Seawalker was available to buy. |
