I am based in Invercargill where I work as a trackwork rider. I grew up eventing, with parents that were very involved in both harness racing and thoroughbred racing. I bought my first thoroughbred in 2015 (I still have her) and never looked back!

I have been rehoming thoroughbreds since 2020 – something that I have always dreamed of doing. I am very lucky to be based at a great property that allows me to retrain thoroughbreds, and I love nothing more than seeing them thrive in new homes that love them as much as I do!
