What are the biggest highlights in your riding career?
Being shortlisted for the 2012 London Olympics on "F1 Pharinelli", winning Adelaide 3* on Warrego Marco Polo, and winning the inaugural Scone Ellerston 4* riding KPH Kingfisher.
Name your favourite horse(s) through your career and what makes them so special?
That's a really hard one. I've had the privilege of riding some pretty amazing horses, all so different and all special in their own right. But Warrego Marco Polo ("Marcus") and KPH Kingfisher ("Kwinky") would have to be the standouts.
What Pryde's EasiFeed products do you use and how do they help meet the needs of both you as an owner/rider and your horses?
I have been feeding Pryde's EasiRide for as long as I've been riding professionally - I love this feed as a staple, for high level competition horses right through to green youngsters and horses off the track. They do so well on it, and they love it. For those in 3DE work, I add EasiResult and EnergyPak, which keeps them feeling energetic and fresh even in heavy work.
What event on the equestrian calendar do you look forward to the most each year?
Adelaide. There is just something so unique and special about riding cross country in the middle of the city.
If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, who would it be?
My husband, Brett. But if he couldn't make it, Bradley Cooper.
Best piece of advice you have heard regarding horses?
Slower is faster.
If you could go back and tell your younger self a piece of advice, what would it be?
Work hard to achieve success but don't forget to enjoy the process, the day-to-day. And travel.
Describe your first pony
I've actually never had a pony! I was 13 when I got my first horse, and she was a 15.2h TB x QH mare named Gypsy.
