Show Hunter/ Show Jump rider from Rotorua

I have completed my first year of high school at ACG in Tauranga.

After winning category A showhunter pony of the year in 2020 I went on to do more showjumping and eventing.

I also came 6th at series finals in the show hunter pony equitation series and placed in my sh...

Show Jumping / Show Hunter

25yo Show hunter and Show Jumper from Hastings

I am a 27-year-old showjumper based in Hastings. I was brought up on our family farm in Waipukurau where I am lucky to have parents who have supported me in my riding from an early age.

Currently I have my main horse Double Down, and a broodmare who is producing some wonderful progeny and my retired boy Just Kick On.

Double Down is an 8-year-old warmblood gelding who I’ve owned for the past two seasons. He has become a very versatile horse that competes in Showjumping, Working Hunter and Show Hunter with placings. During winter we have also hunted with Dannevirke Hunt.
