Who has influenced your passion for equestrian the most and why?
Nicole- I would have to say Dean! Since meeting Dean I have completely changed how I view and train with my horses.
Dean- My dad influenced me from a young age, he was a very experienced trainer who taught me everything I knew at a young age.
What has been your biggest riding-related accomplishment?
Nicole- Developing my first ever warmblood who I purchased as a yearling. After breaking her in and campaigning her I sold her to an interstate rider who has had great success!
Dean- doing my first 3*** on Classic Intentions, an OTT who I retrained straight of the track! It was a very special moment.
What do you do to prepare yourself for competition?
We both have to run through our upcoming test or XC course before leaving the truck, we have both had our fair share of getting lost, so this is our new ritual!
What is your dream riding goal?
Nicole- I would love to complete a 5 star!
Dean- I would love to go to the Olympics, as it has been my dream since I was young!
Which is your favourite Johnson’s Natural Formula feed and why?
We are both the biggest fan of Alfalfa Plus! Its suitability for all horses is amazing! We feed it to all of our 20+ horses and find it has made an incredible difference in not only their condition but also their feet, ulcers and coat!
