I originate from the small farming community of Wilkawatt, in the Mallee Region of South Australia. My three sisters and I were always horse-mad. To this day, we all live on acreage and continue to enjoy horses as part of our everyday life.
I am particularly fond of and a proud supporter and participant in equestrian Vaulting and Dressage in SA, interstate and overseas.
I am a part-time coach, mainly in Vaulting; I spend many hours a week lunging! All of our Vaulting horses are also cross-trained to maintain and improve their stamina, strength and flexibility. Alongside coaching, I occasionally do some unofficial Dressage judging.
My daughter and I run a small private Vaulting group called Wilameka Equestrian. We have four horses, three of which are Vaulting/Dressage horses (two Warmbloods and a Friesian Warmblood) and one much-loved pleasure pony.
Nowadays, and outside of horses, I’m long-time married with two children and one granddaughter. I’m a Property Manager with Rental Property Network in South Australia, and I relief bus drive to help support our local primary and secondary schools. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, camping, travelling and meeting new people.
