What do you love most about your horse? I love how much she has taught me, she's a funny little mare with a lot of attitude but I enjoy that she is a challenge.
Funny habits, how does your horse make you smile? Doesn't like other horses near her competition Buddy. She squeals and stomps her feet if another horse comes near her. If you blow on her nose she will try and bite your face off - so beware! She's very challenging under saddle and horse shy.
What do you love most about horses? I love that they owe me nothing but that they will try their hearts out for me and they give me so much. I couldn't ask for better best friends than my four legged ones.
Do you have an idol in the Equine World? Ingrid Klimke and Amanda Ross - they are amazing at all three disciplines.
Who is your biggest supporter? My mum - she gives up all her time to be with me every weekend at horse competitions, her dedication to me and my sport is amazing and I could never do it without her. She is with me rain, hail or shine every time I ride whether it's at home or at clinics/ lessons/ competitions. My dad who also loves to come to competitions but sometimes he has to stay home to feed the animals so mum can be with me. I appreciate them both so much!
Describe your favourite horse memory? When I had a photoshoot in December with my soul mate Appaloosa Riley who has stepped down due to age. We were on the front cover of the weekly times. That's very special to me.
What are your ambitions or dreams with your current horses? My aim with Annie is to get to 3 star eventing and at least Advanced dressage - she’s a talented little mare. My aim with Polly is to get a few runs at 2 star before she retires then I have some younger horses who need bringing on.
Where do you see yourself riding in 5 years? I hope that I will be riding and training at higher levels with so much more experience. I'd love to represent Australia one day.
Why do you want to be part of the Barastoc Junior Squad? I would love to be a part of the Barastoc Junior Squad, it would be a privilege to represent such a well known brand and be apart of the squad. I would love to represent you on my active social media platform.
How do you think being a member of the Barastoc Junior Squad will help your riding? I think that being a part of the Barastoc Junior Squad will help my riding by giving me a bigger platform and by working together with your brand we could have a good working relationship.
