The boys are off! It’s a week later than planned but we are all en route to the UK! ✈️
They are both feeling fit, and ready to go! Funny having two horses good enough to take overseas and they are both 16hh bay off the track thoroughbred geldings! ❤️

I have no words!

And yes I did try telling him that if he wants to learn to jump that cantering to the right is kinda essential! 🤷‍♀️

Ps. We fly out tomorrow with Hughie and Basil, (take 2), Melbourne - London! ✈️🐎🐎

MEDIA RELEASE: I’m off in a few weeks to fulfil

MEDIA RELEASE:
I’m off in a few weeks to fulfil a lifelong dream to represent Australia at some of the biggest eventing competitions in the UK and Europe.

As you may know, I am long-listed for Paris 2024 Olympics on my wonderful off-the track thoroughbred, Humble Glory. In order to gain international experience and give ourselves a chance in selection both now and in the future, we are heading to the United Kingdom for 5 months, leaving mid-April.

To maximise this once in a lifetime experience, I have decided to take my second horse, Seattle Park, who is showing enormous potential for the future.

Over the 5 months, I plan to represent Australia at Nations Cup Events, with our campaign ending at either Paris Olympics, or the 5* at Burghley Horse Trials.

I will be travelling with these beautiful horses, my husband Andy and my 5 month old baby, Oliver. We are looking forward to the adventure of a lifetime.

I’d like to share my plans and dreams with you on April 10th, 7pm with a zoom meeting. I am also asking if any of you would be interested in sponsoring me, every $ will help. We are creating a Sporting Donation page for those who wish to
sponsor me - the link is in my bio!

Those who do sponsor me will get private videos after each major event with a unique insight into my experience and what I’m learning.

As you can imagine it is an incredibly expensive venture (travel, horse feed, stabling, truck hire, and the endless list of costs associated with competing internationally, as well as leaving our businesses for so long.)

I would be very grateful for any support you may be able to offer me and help be part
of this exciting journey.

For my update and description of plans join me on April 10th at 7pm. The link to the zoom meeting is also in my bio and on my fb page!

For sale: Bluebell Violet Violet is a 15.3hh 5yo W

For sale: Bluebell Violet
Violet is a 15.3hh 5yo WB x TB mare. She is by Valhalla out of a staying bred thoroughbred making her a fantastic prospect for top level eventing and show jumping.
Violet has a great jump. She is very careful and athletic, and has competed up to 90cm show jumping, always jumping clear rounds. She has done a small amount of cross country schooling and has been brave and willing, however is yet to have an eventing start. She has a great mouth and works very nicely in a frame.
She has been out to a number of show jumping shows, and is very easy to take out. She has been quiet and well behaved to ride in warm up arenas, ties up well and loads straight on the truck.
She has always been ridden and produced by a professional, and required an experienced rider to continue producing her as she is still young and green.
She does best when in regular work, and can be fresh after a few months off!

Hughie was amazing on cross country as usual yeste

Hughie was amazing on cross country as usual yesterday. Unfortunately I lost my reins at the second water and we ran straight past the C element. He jumped very well around the rest of a tough track. This is Hughie’s first ever 20 penalties on cross country, and it definitely wasn’t his fault!
A good reminder to me to stay on my game!!!

The Australian team has a big lead going into the show jumping today. We are hoping for a great day with lots of clear rounds! 🤞🏼
