⭐Horses: Ben, Harvey & Ellie
🐴How long have you been riding?
I have been riding ever since I could walk. Following in my Mum’s footsteps, I began showing at 3 yrs old and have absolutely loved it ever since.
🐴Tell us about the horses in your life right now. What are their quirks or funny habits?
I have 3 horses at the moment which I absolutely love working with. They are all young ones now, so extremely excited to get out competing more, and learning with them. My two Galloways are both very quirky, they love scratches and attention! I also have a young pony who I adore, he is so easy and I love riding him. I have recently handed over the reins of my heart pony to a gorgeous little girl who is doing an amazing job with him. He will always be one of my favourites, but I love them all!
🐴What do you love most about showing & dressage?
I love the atmosphere and how much you learn every time you step out into the ring.
🐴What has been your biggest achievement or special moment so far?
My biggest achievement so far has to be when I was lucky enough to be awarded Champion child's pony at Melbourne Royal Show. Another memorable achievement of mine has been National Champion Ridden Part Welsh at the Victorian Welsh National Show.
🐴Do you have any ‘lucky’ superstitions or rituals when you compete?
Not really, however, I do always keep my lucky necklace on when I compete. It was the charm I got gifted after my last EA Nationals with a very talented, amazing pony I was lucky enough to lease, named Raleigh Picture Perfect.
🐴What are your goals for this year?
I would like to compete more in dressage events, and I would also like to train my young Galloway more movements so I can move up levels in the future.
🐴What is your favourite product from Horseland Shepparton?
My Favourite Horseland product would have to be my KEP ITALIA helmet! I also love the amazing range of Weatherbeeta rugs and the awesome service we always get in store!
