Where are you from?
"We are based in Merton, Victoria."


Who has influenced your passion for equestrian the most, and why?
"Steph - I’ve been very fortunate to have many great mentors and friends throughout this journey, so it’s hard to credit just one! But David Norbury has been a huge influence for me as a trainer.
Mitch - My grandfather was the biggest influence for me being involved with horses. He was a stockman and campdrafter, and we spent many hours horseback together while I was growing up. He really taught me a lot and ignited the fire in me to become a good horseman."

What is your dream riding goal?
"Steph - I’d love to one day win the
Reining Australia Gold Buckle Futurity—and also show a horse in the USA.
Mitch - My ultimate riding goal is to train a horse all the way from a 2-year-old right through to it being an Open Bridle Horse in the Cowhorse. This takes many years and a special kind of horse!"

What is your favourite Johnson's Natural Formula feed, and why?
