Sarah Nelson

Sarah Nelson is a 19-year-old showjumper and eventer based in Taupō. She enjoys starting young horses and producing them up the grades. In 2025, she was fortunate to spend the winter working for Fernhill Sporthorses in Kilkenny, Ireland, and she hopes to return in the future.

Last season was particularly successful, with SP Petite Du Pas and Jeremy Pocketed It achieving their first major wins. Sarah herself was awarded Taupō Secondary Sportsperson of the Year. SP Petite Du Pas won the 125 Championship at HOY, and Jeremy Pocketed It claimed the 115 Championship at the Takapoto Classic.

When Sarah first started riding Pulse Pocketed It (recently sold to Australia), he often felt stiff during warm-ups. After a few days on Cortaflex HA Super Fenn, he became noticeably more supple and relaxed. Her horse Jeremy Pocketed It, who tends to be a bit spooky, benefits from Super So Kalm, which helps him feel calmer and more focused.

Green Ice was essential when competing Phantom Warrior, an older horse, to ensure tendon health and prevent injury. Sarah relies on the Equine America range for the health, performance, and longevity of her horses.
