When did you start riding?

I believe my first ride was when I was three years-old, but my first riding memory was my first fall after galloping up one of the hills on our property - apparently falling off can hook someone into riding.

Recent competition successes?

1st Heytesbury HT CCN3*-S, 1st Ballarat Horse Trials CCI3*-S, 1st Wandin Park International Horse Trials CCI2*-L

Ambitions for the future?

I would like to train a horse from grassroots all the way to the top level of eventing, hopefully being a stepping stone to riding for Australia at the top level in eventing.

Hobbies outside horses?

Outside of horses I play tennis on a local team. I also spend some of my non-existent spare time rebuilding / fixing small engines.

Your favourite saying or motto?

Just sit up and keep your legs on,
