Happy New Year to my lovely clients, I have met so many wonderful people this year and I’m grateful for each and every one of you for the support.

My bookings for schoolers and breakers are open for 2025- I can also do sale on behalf if the horse/pony is here for schooling or breaking in.
January is full, February has space for schoolers and I can take breakers on from end of March.

Lessons are available throughout the school holidays. Additionally let me know if you’d like to book in weekly for term 1.

For those of you new to my page, here is a bit about me:
I am a very successful show rider that is competing at top level, dressage trained with Lauren Haig.
I have schooled, broken in and worked with hundreds of horses and ponies, all different breeds and sizes. I have had my business for about 6 years and I broke in most of my ponies I rode as a child.

I have broken in the Rising Star Park Hack of the Year 2019 and also bred and broken in the South Island Premier Park Hack 2024.
This year was a huge thrill to win Senior Rider of The Year 21 years and over at Horse of the Year and I also qualified and represented New Zealand competing in my Rider class at the Show Horse Council Grand National’s in Sydney.

I am looking forward to 2025 with my beautiful show team 👑

About me

I have competitively been riding in the show ring since I was 4 years old starting in the lead rein. I have had huge success right through the pony rings, especially on Uptown Charlie Brown who holds many titles across NZ including my rider titles on him. I have novice ponies coming out soon and a thoroughbred off the track.

I try to get my ponies/horses using themselves properly and let them naturally come down into a frame, I focus on getting the most out of the pony/horse I am riding. I have broken in many ponies/horses starting from my 12.2h pony when I was only 11 and many others for myself and other people over the years, so I have plenty of experience. I get regular lessons from a top dressage coach, Debbie Nelson, who is always teaching me new ways to school and get the horse/pony to work off my leg and into the bit. So I am always adding to my knowledge for schooling my own ponies/horses and my clients.

Services I offer include:


  • Schooling for ponies and horses
