"Early on (as a child) I was lucky enough to learn with a great coach, Pip Collins, who taught me invaluable skills in horse management and riding. She had a love of classical dressage and trained with Miguel Tavora. As a teenager I began training with Miguel and did so until his passing. He was definitely my greatest influence, I'm still guided by both of these mentors through their teachings every day."

"I've had a few, but probably riding my first FEI test on a horse I'd trained through the levels was a big deal.

I had 2 horses in the same class win Champion and Reserve at the Australian Dressage Championships last year- that was pretty cool."

"I actually love the preparation, the plaiting, grooming etc- I think it gives me a connection with the horse before we start. This is not always possible with a big team, but I like to do it when I can."

"Having multiple Grand Prix horses, who are happy and performing well.

To compete for Australia would be amazing- but creating happy athletes is definitely the ultimate goal."

"Platinum Low GI is my favourite. It suits a variety of horses - they all love it and it gives them all the goodness they need in one pellet.

It's a great base for my whole team."
