🇦🇺 FEI 3* Eventing rider - Stockmans challenge competitor and everything in between.

09/06/2025

I’ve been very absent online while dealing with loss, surgery, and rehab. It’s been well over a year since I last competed, and it’ll still be a while yet. Rehab is ongoing and the only horses in the paddock right now are young ones — but I think I’ve finally found the drive to get back on the horse, so to speak.

Good luck to everyone riding today at Melbourne International 3DE on the final day! Watching from my phone while this ankle heals is a strong reminder of how much I miss it!

I’m excited about the young ones coming through, so stay tuned to follow their progress just like you followed this one.

📸 Pep and me over the B element in the CCI3* (part of the 4* track too!) Such a brave, honest little horse. Incredible grateful to have taken him from an unbroken 2yo to a 3* eventer, 1.20m showjumper, and stockman’s challenge winner. A once in a lifetime horse who always exceeded my expectations.

This time last year I got to gallop around the Werribee mansion at Melbourne International 3DE on my 🦄
Good luck to everyone out there today!

Pep’s now in Sydney showing a 12yo around some bigger tracks 🧡

I have been so slack with updates - here are some fantastic photos at The Man From Snowy River Bush Festival by Kelly Martyn Photography

Hendrix was very consistent through all the preliminary events, accumulating enough points to get us into the finals among some of Australia’s greatest horsewomen.

It was a great feeling to be out there on finals day with a massive atmosphere attempting to halter a brumby. Hendrix was just as excited as I was! Although wild, we managed to get it done! 🤠

So incredibly proud of Hendrix winning the Ladies Rosewood Stockmans Challenge in NSW last weekend.

We were leading going into the finals with some good scores in the preliminary events - winning the whip crack section being a highlight. Being one of only 2 of the lady finalists to successfully catch the brumby in the final secured us the win 🥇

Big congratulations to all the other finalists and competitors – it truly was a great weekend! Massive credit to Hayley and the committee for running such an incredible challenge, everything went so smoothly and it’s great to have this one back on the calendar! Thank you to the judges, volunteers, and sponsors. It’s really rewarding to walk away with some great prize money, prizes, and a service fee.

Thanks to my wonderful friends, who helped me over the weekend and leading up to it – your support means the world to me.

Blackie has enjoyed a few months off during the summer. However, we’ve managed to attend a few competitions this year.

Last month at the Briagolong combined training and dressage jackpot, we scored 79% and 76% in dressage, winning the dressage jackpot and the CT - Level 2 🥇.

At the Mornington Peninsula EA Horse Trials EA95, we placed second 🥈 with a 70% in dressage and clear jumping phases.

This month at the Tonimbuk International Horse Trials, despite the scorching weather ☀️, we stepped up to 1*. Blackie delivered a solid dressage performance at this level, earning 70%. In the show jumping round she showed significant improvement for only her 3rd time at this height, just knocking one down.

Cross country - Blackie glanced off one of the angled logs early in the course. (I didn’t ride this very well and should have set her up better - she’s been jumping so well I forget she is still green with some of the questions that get asked at these higher levels). As it was incredibly hot I decided to prioritise her well-being. Knowing she still had a three-hour drive home, I opted to forget about the optimum time and took it easy. I was really impressed how she jumped the rest of the course including the water, bank and ditches… not to mention the skinnies! Despite accumulating time penalties and ending on a cricket score - Blackie handled the heat and vetted very well at the end of the course. I am so pleased how she is handling the step up to 1*

Blackie is now enjoying a little break while I focus on Hendrix and stockman challenges. Hoping to aim to have Blackje back out at Ballarat in May 😊

Blackie has stepped up to 1* after placing 6th with a double clear in the jumping sections to finish on her dressage score at her final EVA 95 at Avenel Horse Trials last month.

Last weekend we attempted her first 1* at Candlebark Horse Trials to see how we would go. She produced an ok test scoring 65% - I forgot the test and received an error 🙈 placing us in 5th after dressage. Just 2 green rails in her first round of 105 showjumping dropping us down the score board.. only to climb back up with a clear and under-time cross country! Finishing in the top 10!

So incredibly proud of her stepping up to this level. Lots and lots to consolidate and work on but we made it to the star levels, go Blackie! At the start of this year we were still competing EVA 80 and now she has her first MER for 2* ⭐️

Thank you to my wonderful friends who have helped out and thanks to my sponsors for all you do Norrisa Wheal Equine Therapy Flicks Flix 💕

Very impressed with Blackie’s efforts over the weekend at Sale Combined Training. Another clear 95 SJ and an improved dressage to score 71.7%! She just keeps getting better and better - love this mare 🤩

Thanks Norrisa Wheal Equine Therapy for keeping my horses feeling great! Blackie has never felt this strong and confident in her work. You’re amazing and I appreciate all you do.

No photos from this weekend so enjoy one of my favs from Friends of Werribee a couple of weeks ago.

Looking to breed this season??

Earlier this year Hendrix won the Barrel Race section at The Gippsland Super Horse Challenge! With that came the prize of a service fee to this beautiful stallion ‘JB COLD AS ICE’ kindly donated by John. Unfortunately I don’t have a broodmare so I am offering this service at a reduced price - just in time for the breeding season. Send me a message if you’re interested!

Thank you to all the wonderful event sponsors that donate fantastic prizes like this! The winner of each section received a different stallion service. Well done to the committee for organising such a great event in Gippsland!

Blackie was an absolute ⭐️ last weekend at Friends of Werribee Horse Trials to start off the season.

Giving me a solid test of 67.1% and clear and under time show jumping and cross country rounds. Finishing on her dressage score to place 7th overall in the EA95.

She’s really stepping up and showing how careful and bold she is. Lots of nice comments from the judges. Looking forward to consolidating her at this level and hopefully stepping her up again in the future! 🙌🏼

I’ve been a little slack with updates while I try have a break from it all.

A few weeks ago Blackie took out the C grade show jumping champion (her first time at this height) and winner of the Grade 2 Combined training at Stratford (her second time competing at this level).

She produced a lovely test (69.28%) with some great comments and 3 clear rounds for the day. Looking forward to consolidating her at these levels 😊

Thank you to Stratford Pony Club for running the event. It’s nice to have a somewhat local event to take the horses to!
