What do you love most about your horse? I love Ruby's personality, she loves cuddles and is a very in your space type of horse. She is a pleasure to be around and have as a companion. I love how willing Ruby is and how much she wants to learn and please. I have taught Ruby a few tricks such as lay down, bow, smile and my favourite the rear. Ruby is also a really playful horse, she will run around with me in the paddock. The main thing I love about Ruby is she is always there when I need a cuddle or someone to lean on because she always gives a cuddle back.
Funny habits, how does your horse make you smile? Funny habits Ruby does is she likes to cuddle my leg when I plait her mane and she likes to play with my clothing and shoes. I give her a bouncy ball and she loves to swing it around. Another habit she has when I walk up to her with a treat Ruby is already smiling.

What do you love most about your horse? I love how reliable and calm horse Milly is, she is just the perfect type of horse to jump on bareback and go for a gallop around the farm or down the road. She also is a great lead off horse and helped me break in Ruby. I love that I can just lay on her in the middle of the paddock with no fuss, she is always there for me too.
Funny habits, how does your horse make you smile? We made a scratching pole with a broom head on it and Milly absolutely loves it. She makes these weird scratching positions that make me laugh. Milly also loves her belly scratched and if we are in the paddock doing a job she will walk up beside us and stretch out so we can scratch her.
What do you love most about horses? I love how they are my best friend, I can tell them anything and hug them. I love how they are a partner in life. They teach you so much, about them and about yourself. They are humbling, help me to develop persistence, confidence and the more I do with the horses the more the passion grows.
Do you have an idol in the Equine World? I do have a few idols, Tania Powell, Fallon Taylor and Matt Mills
Who is your biggest supporter? I have loads of people who support me, my family are the biggest supporters and I have a lot of friends who we all support each other.
Describe your favourite horse memory?My favourite horse memory was when I was very generously given Ruby for Christmas in 2019. I had been working with her before that and I fell in love with her only to be completely surprised and excited when she was gifted to me.
What are your ambitions or dreams with your current horses? I dream to take Ruby to Paint Nationals and Reining Nationals, states and different shows. I just would love to be successful and have fun with Ruby.
Where do you see yourself riding in 5 years? I see myself starting my own business training horses and reining professionally with Ruby.
Why do you want to be part of the Barastoc Junior Squad? I would love to be a part of the Barastoc Junior Squad because I will be surrounded by people who support each other and I will have a place where I feel I belong.
How do you think being a member of the Barastoc Junior Squad will help your riding? Just to have that support by friends and a club that I can enjoy with people who have things in common
Which Barastoc Ambassador would you most like to meet? April Harvey
