Shenae Lowings
Shenae started riding ponies when she was 5 years old and started riding competitively when she was 11 years old. Last year she won the Des Robinson Award, which is a rider under 18 years of age that has gained the most grading points throughout the season. Now 18, she lives in Oakford, Western Australia and is an Administrator Clerk at St John of God Mudoch. The riders who inspire her are the international Dressage rider Charlotte Dujardin and Sonja Johnson, famous and great mentor in Western Australia who sent her this message one day before a 3 day event cross country test "Keep the balance, kick like hell, ride both sides and take no prisoners". After returning from NZ, Shenae hopes to be competing at Melbourne Horse Trials in the CCI2** on her other horse Ballyhoo, with who she has very good results too. She will then be aiming to gallop around some 3star tracks before heading to Adelaide CCI2** on both Venture Sky High and Ballyhoo.
