Melbourne International 3DE 2026

2026-07-26T00:27:21+10:00

Santoro flying through the Mansion grounds at Melbourne International 3 Day Event! I really couldn’t ask for much more from Santoro in the CCI4*S with a superb dressage test (30.8 penalties) and a clean SJ round! We made costly mistake at fence 4A on cross country where Santoro wasn’t able to read the fence properly and had a glance out but otherwise he felt incredible around the rest of the course. I am kicking myself that we made that error, especially in a phase we are strongest, in an otherwise confident flawless event. I am still super proud of this horse [...]

Woady Horse Trials 2026

2026-07-26T03:29:50+10:00

Santoro had a great final prep in the CCN3.5* before heading to Melbourne 3 Day scoring a 32.6 in dressage and a lovely clear SJ round. I decided not to run him XC to save his legs for Melbourne. Frosted Darkness continues to impress me scoring a 30.6 in dressage in the EvA80 and finishing on that score to put him in equal first and second overall on a count back! Such a ripper young horse!! Cascabel (Pictured) in the CCN1* did a solid 31.4 dressage but what I was most pleased with was his jumping and cross country rounds which [...]

Two Class Wins at Wandin Park IHT 2026

2026-04-17T06:56:08+10:00

We had 4 quality horses out at Wandin Park IHT but it was Delure who got best on ground for me! A tactful extremely slow run at Tonimbuk, to build his confidence, paid dividends at Wandin as he finished on his dressage score (the only horse in the section to do so) of 26.9 to win his CCN1* class! This little future superstar felt incredible in all 3 phases and can’t thank Fiona Mitchell enough for backing and trusting me to bring him on. Cascabel also put in a great performance in the CCN1* with some green moments on XC showing [...]

We are already in the swing of our competition season with a couple of smaller events complete with a team of young horses!

Sydney CCI4*L 2024 Champions!

2025-04-14T07:12:50+10:00

Santoro has pulled through the goods! What a horse! Adding just 0.4 penalties for a second overtime in show jumping to his dressage score of 30.8, he finished on 31.2 in a hotly contested class! The last 18 months we have been through some testing times but we have persevered and he has come out the other side stronger than ever! There is a huge team behind me that make all of this possible and there will be more thank you’s to come but for now the biggest thank you must go to the Santoro Syndicate. Lisa, Karen and Andrea are [...]

Ballarat HT May 2024

2024-05-27T22:15:17+10:00

Cold morning starts were totally forgiven at Ballarat Horse Trials last week when they were followed by beautiful sunny days! In the CCI4star both Wimborne Conjuror and Santoro had a few fizzy moments in the dressage on Saturday. On the whole they both jumped well overall despite some rails on both horses and Sammy taking out a frangible pin during his cross-country round – they finished in 5th and 6th place. Big thanks to our sponsors BetaVet Australia who also came on baord and sponsored this class at the event! The star of the event was the catch ride Tulara Baltango, [...]
