Every ride counts.
From the early mornings to the long training days, every step takes us closer to representing New Zealand on the world stage. My goal is clear: to qualify for the Paralympics and show what determination, teamwork, and belief can achieve. Your support helps turn that goal into reality.

Representing New Zealand on the world stage has always been the dream.
But dreams take more than talent — they take training, travel, and a whole lot of teamwork. Every competition helps build the experience and exposure we need to qualify for international selection, and every bit of support helps make that happen.
A season of travel, lessons, and competitions means months of hard work, careful planning, and big heart. Together we can turn that dream into a flag flying high for Aotearoa.
I didn’t grow up in the world of horses. I found my way here through pure determination and a lifelong love of animals. I started riding at eighteen on a borrowed school horse and never looked back.
Over the years I’ve faced my share of hurdles, including injuries that changed how I move, ride, and live. But I’ve never let that stop me. With every challenge, I’ve learned to ride smarter, train kinder, and keep pushing for better.
Today, I’m a proud Para Equestrian competing at Para Grand Prix level with my incredible team, Leo (BBS DaVinci) and Fievel, as we aim for international qualification.

The gentleman of the team. A talented 9-year-old gelding who’s gone from eventing to Para Grand Prix, Leo has the heart of a lion and the patience of a saint. Together we’ve lifted our scores by more than 10 percent in our first season and are chasing even more this year.

The cheeky younger brother with big-arena dreams. He’s been with me since he was a foal, and every ride is a step closer to his own Paralympic debut.

The baby of the family, just starting her journey. She’s a reminder that the future is always growing — one hoofbeat at a time.
Behind every good ride is an even better coach — or in my case, a few of them.
I’m incredibly lucky to work with some of New Zealand’s top trainers who keep me learning, pushing, and improving every single week.

Jody has completely changed the way I ride and train. Her focus on kindness, clarity, and communication has helped me understand how to work with my horses, not against them. The progress we’ve made together is unreal. Every ride feels more harmonious, more connected, and more confident.

It’s A Stitch Up makes the kind of horse gear that actually lasts. Smart, sturdy, and handmade in New Zealand for riders who expect their gear to work as hard as they do.

Scott helped me rebuild my confidence after becoming a mum. His coaching reminded me that riding is meant to be joyful — that showing up, even on the hard days, is what makes the difference. His support got me back into the arena and believing in myself again.

Every message, every share, and every donation helps us take another step toward that centre line — proudly representing Aotearoa New Zealand on the world stage.
This journey takes grit, love, and a lot of early mornings, but knowing people believe in what we’re working toward makes every ride that much more meaningful.
From Leo, Fievel, and myself — thank you for being part of our team.
