What do you love most about your horse? She is so sweet and gentle and always gives 110% once we enter the arena she knows exactly what she has to do.
Funny habits, how does your horse make you smile? She is always the calmest horse in the stable until a new horse is introduced, she goes full mare mode and squeals and prances around to make sure everyone knows she's the queen of the stables.
Horse’s Name: Koyuna Galaxy

Discipline: Showjumping
What do you love most about your horse? He is so fun to ride and gives the best feeling over a jump.
Funny habits, how does your horse make you smile? He will do anything for food and is generally cranky but whenever you come anywhere near him with food his ears immediately prick forwards.
What do you love most about horses? I love how whenever you are with them all your problems seem to vanish, they cure everything and they make you feel so loved when you are with them.
Do you have an idol in the Equine World? I have many riders that I look up to overseas like Edwina Tops Alexander and Ben Maher but I really look up to Billy Raymont, I love watching him ride and he teaches really well and is very helpful. I also look up to Olivia Hamood, I think she is an amazing rider and I definitely want to be able to ride liker her one day.
Who is your biggest supporter? My parents are definitely my biggest supporters, my dad drives the truck and gets us to every event possible and mum does an amazing job looking after the horses. They have both taught me so much with my riding and are at every competition warming me up before entering the ring and just supporting me in general.
Describe your favourite horse memory? My favourite memory was winning the Queensland State Junior Titles on my horse Stella earlier this year, I have been riding her since May last year and clicked with her immediately. This day was made even more special because my sister also won the Queensland State Young Rider Titles as well.
What are your ambitions or dreams with your current horses? With both of my horses I would like to compete in a few more young riders before they retire. I also currently have a yearling filly by an Emerald stallion who I absolutely adore, I cant wait to break her in and train her, my ambitions with her is to jump 1.40m level and it is a dream of mine to compete in World Cup classes and I hope that she will be able to do that.
Where do you see yourself riding in 5 years? I would love to see myself going overseas either to compete or even just watch the elite riders and learn from them.
Why do you want to be part of the Barastoc Junior Squad? It would be a privilege to represent and amazing brand like yours and I would be very lucky.
How do you think being a member of the Barastoc Junior Squad will help your riding? I think my horses will continue to perform and look amazing and I will be able to reach my dreams.
Which Barastoc Ambassador would you most like to meet? I'm not sure, I have always looked up to Brooke and have admired her hard work and dedication in both the show jumping and racing industry.
Have you fed Barastoc to your horses in the past? If so, what products did you use? We are currently feeding Barastoc Calm performer to our team on 6 show jumpers and they are looking and performing amazing, their coats are the best they have ever been.
