I am a…
Horse crazy and travel obsessed Australian born in 1984.

I want to…
Teach anything and everything about horses to those interested through owning and managing an agistment property / riding school.

I love…
Writing in general, but especially about horses.  I’m currently working on a novel I plan to finish sometime this millennium and get published!  I had my first piece published in a book this year which you can check out at http://ithappenedbydesign.com/.

I have completed…
- Certificate II in Horse Studies
- Diploma of Horse Studies (Breeding)
- Irish National Stud Breeding Course
- Certificate IV in Training and Assessment

I am currently undertaking…
- The Bachelor of Equine Science at CSU

My main experience…
is on Thoroughbred Studs but I’ve recently worked in two riding schools and am currently teaching the breeding modules of a Cert III relating to horses at TAFE. I have also volunteered at Riding for the Disabled, Australia for a couple of years.

I own…
a Quarter Horse x Arab 1988 year old gelding that I’ve had since he was nine and strongly believe in learning from my horse and taking on many jobs with horses over varied disciplines.
