I am 39 years of age and reside in Cardup, Western Australia. I began my equestrian career at the age of 16 years in the harness racing fraternity and this is where my love of the equine sport began. I now own and run ‘Allaspects Equestrian’ which has been a work in progress over the last three years with the property developed to the highest of standards.

I have a team of successful show and performance horses in work throughout the year with my newest sensation being the stallion Burnbrae Park Talisman who made his show ring debut in 2012.

During my many years in the show ring I have had many Horse of the Year, Royal show and National qualifying achievements in both show horse and show hunter classes. I have competed for the last 8 years in NSW, VIC and QLD competing and representing WA in Hunter and Rider Classes at top levels.

My judging career started in 2004.  I have judged at State, National and International levels with a highlight being awarded the prestigious Runner Up Judge of the Year for New Zealand. I have extensive knowledge of both the show and hunter horse and pride myself on attention to detail, trainability and education of the horse.

Some performance achievements include;

• Alfenbeau 2004. 2005
