It’s been 8 months since I last competed in a Premier league due to my neck injury, so Central Districts Premier League was a bit of a personal milestone for me. It’s been a pretty tough road to get back to where I am, and I am sooo grateful to every single person who has helped me along the way! There are too many to mention but without a doubt I could not have gotten through it without you all. ❤️❤️❤️

Papanui Just Dynamite (Donny) did us proud with some real highlights both days winning both his Inter 1 musical and PSG, 70% and 68% and taking home Champion Small tour. 🏆

Southern Star Seraphim also made us super proud, being his first away show he got better every test, with a highlight getting 73.8% in his last Prelim test and winning all three of his tests to take home Champion. 🏆

Sugar and Spice owned by Michelle Middelberg, who only had her first outing last weekend. Sugar got better every test and managed to cope with all the puddles. She came home with Reserve Champion to our own Seraphim. 🏆

We have produced both of these two young horses from home by getting them broken in then we have brought them on ourselves to this point which is something we are really proud of. 🤩

Thank you to CD committee for a super organised show even in difficult weather!! 🥶

Thank you to James and Michelle for all their help over the show and leading up to it, and Brooky for your daily care of the horses and staying home to look after the rest of the team. Thank you to my very special owners! Teamwork makes the dream work. 💪🏻🥰

Lastly thank you to my amazing sponsors that continue to support me even through my injury and absence from competition. I’m truly lucky and truly grateful to them for their belief and support! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We had a great start to 2025 season at the Eastwood Motor Group Wairarapa Champs.
Irish coffee has stepped up to Medium tour, still a little green but really pleased with his progress. We managed a 2nd in the Musical and 1st in the Inter B to come home with Champion Medium tour level.
A new horse to our team we are super excited about is Papanui Just Dynamite. He was beautifully trained and owned by Penny Pearce so I feel very honoured to have the ride. We didn’t know what to expect as it was our first show and only 6 weeks of owning him, but he felt really good in the ring and won all three of his tests scores up to 70% in the Advanced level.
Salsa S is also new face to our team this season. She is owned by Belinda Stuchbery and I previously rode Salsa S mother (Jaybee Jazzmin) for the Stuchbery’s aswell. She competed in the Novice level winning the musical on 72% and coming home with Reserve Champion.

Thank you to all my owners who continue to support me and our whole team. Thank you to all the amazing people that helped on show day as we had 5 horses competing between myself, Rachel (stepped up to Advanced Medium woohoo 🥳) and James in the GP.
Last but definitely not least MASSIVE thank you to my amazing sponsors
The major sponsor of the show and myself, so lucky to have the D-Max
My super comfy and super close contact saddles, could not do without. Plus my new helmet which super helpful on a hot sunny day.
My newest sponsor, can’t wait for my new Cavallo boots!

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Irish Coffee won the National Super 5 Series for this last season. It is the highest average percentage over the whole country for Advanced level, we won with an average percentage of 73.3%. Feel so grateful to have Irish in our team and to his wonderful supportive owners. Can’t wait till next season, bring on winter training!

As we approach Waikato Champs, HOY and Nationals I just wanna say how I feel so lucky to be sponsored by the most generous and genuine people. Not only to they support me but they support local events, it was the Eastwood Motor Group Wairarapa Premier League a couple weeks ago. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I competed Irish Coffee in the Advanced level, which he was 1st in all three of his tests taking out Champion Advanced.
We also took along Fom Fairytale HK (Fiona) and she was foot perfect and highlight was her musical which she scored 73.3%.
Wairarapa area also won the teams challenge which is the first time in 10 years 🥳🥳🥳
It was also great to see so many of my past horses doing so well, Aphrodite and James were Champion Grand Prix and Joniro and Francesca Masfen Champion Advanced Medium. 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you to my owners in the Irish Coffee syndicate and Fiona’s owner Renai Hart for their continued support. Thanks to my team who make everything happen behind the scenes. Thank you to my amazing sponsors
Thank you to the committee and volunteers for their hours of work to make this show happen. 🥂🥂🥂
