Inspiring Louise Hillman at the Dressage Championships

Meet the inspiring Louise Hillman who travelled from Western Australia with her gelding Lord Louie to compete at the Martin Collins 2017 Australian Dressage Championships in Boneo Park (in the Advanced class).

Travelling all this way and competing this week had a special meaning for Louise who was riding with a green rosette in memory of her young student Ali.
