Isabel English

Isabel was taught to ride when she was 5 years old by her parents Nick and Sarah, both skilled competitors, and is now trained by well-known instructor Tony Manca, who is experienced across all three Eventing disciplines. Isabel started riding competitively when she was 10 years old with her first pony Candy. Now 20, she lives in little place called Biddaddaba, in the Gold Coast hinterland about ten minutes from the town of Canungra, Queensland and studies a Bachelor of Commerce at University. Studying whilst keeping a large team of competition horses on the road is quite a challenge but the young woman loves it ! The riders who inspired her are Kevin McNab and Micheal Jung. Bella was awarded International Queensland Rider of the year in 2014 and has recently won the Inaugural Best and Fairest Young Rider in honour of Rod Winchester. Her ambition for 2015 is to improve upon last years Adelaide performance. Her favorite mojo is "Have Courage and be Kind".
