Nicole Blanks & Vledder

As well as juggling her riding commitments Nicole is currently studying medicine at La Trobe University in Melbourne. Nicole has a unique set up as her horse Vledder is based in Holland while Nicole is based in Australia. To keep fit Nicole rides a horse at home and goes to the gym regularly. Nicole is looking forward to her family watching her ride on the world stage as most of her family haven’t even met Vledder. Nicole is a scholarship holder at the Victorian Institute of Sport.
