What do you love most about your horse? I love his willingness to please and try his heart out for me. Whenever I point him to a jump his ears go straight forward and loves it! I also love his personality, he is the most chilled and laid back horse, and also loves a good bath.
Funny habits, how does your horse make you smile? When he eats a treat or his dinner he will put his head up and stick his lip up too. Also, when you wash his face, he loves to have the water run between his ears and down his face. He falls asleep with it :)

What do you love most about horses? Everything! When you find the good ones, the ones you form a connection and bond with, that bond is unbreakable and something no one else will ever understand.

Who is your biggest supporter? My family and team at Cloroy Park are definitely by biggest supporters. We have the best and most supportive team here at Cloroy.
Describe your favourite horse memory? Definitely getting my OTT for my birthday in 2019. When I went to check on him in the morning (at a show) he was wrapped in a big red bow and was falling asleep. I instantly burst into tears. That is by far my favorite horse memory
What are your ambitions or dreams with your current horses? Wesley - long term is to produce him to the best of his abilities, hopefully around the 1.30m mark Bronson - long term is similar to Wesley, produce him to Grand Prix and World Cup level. By the time I finish year 12, it will be perfect timing to really start to bring him into full time work and start the showjumping career!
Where do you see yourself riding in 5 years? Hopefully confidently and consistently competing around 1.30m classes. I would love to still be riding Wesley and have him as my main man. And I will be taking Bronson around the 80-90cm rounds :)
Why do you want to be part of the Barastoc Junior Squad? Because it would be a privilege to be a part of such a well respected and successful team and brand. Looking at all the sponsored riders now, to be one of them would be amazing! I have huge aspirations in the equestrian world and having the barastoc brand backing me would be fantastic
How do you think being a member of the Barastoc Junior Squad will help your riding? I imagine it will open a lot of doors to great connections and people that I can learn off.
Which Barastoc Ambassador would you most like to meet? Indianna Cornius-Randall She seems a lot like myself and I feel I could relate to her
Have you fed Barastoc to your horses in the past? If so, what products did you use? All the time! The main think I use is Barastoc complete performer, but I have also used calm performer and breed and grow in the past as well.
