Discipline: Team Roper

Where are you from? Tabbita, New South Wales

Who has influenced your passion for equestrian the most and why?

My family have always been involved in the rodeo industry. Both my Mum and Dad have been huge influences, teaching me how to rope, train horses and everything in-between.

What has been your biggest riding-related accomplishment?

My biggest accomplishment within my rodeo career would be winning the Open Team Roping at Deniliquin Pro Rodeo in 2022 competing as a Junior and it being my first rodeo.

What do you do to prepare yourself for competition?

To prepare myself for a rodeo, I practice immensely throughout the week beforehand and have a swing of all my ropes to feel what rope is the best for the rodeo ahead.

What is your dream riding goal?

My dream competing goal would be to win as many Australian Professional Rodeo Association Open Team Roping Titles as possible.

Which is your favourite Johnson’s Natural Formula feed and why?

Fibre Balancer is a great fit for my horses, we feed mostly lucerne at home so the fibre and nutrients within the Fibre Balancer pellet is just perfect for keeping my horses feeling and looking their best.
