Did you start riding at pony club? Started competing at Pony Club,
but was riding before then
How long have you been eventing? EFA just over 6 years
What first got you interested in eventing? My uncle, (Bert Jacobs) who rode in the
1956 Olympic Games, and gave me riding lessons.
Best results to date. Being selected to represent Australia in the Young Rider
Trans Tasman Competition in 2000.
Most memorable event? Spray Farm 2000 CCI*** it was my first *** we took all the
fast routes and went clear |
Ebony developed her taste
for success at an early age!
|
Most embarassing equine moment? Being bucked off in the dressage
warm up at Yerringberg 2002 it would seem its a good idea to think ahead and
let your horse get used to having it's tail plaited before you arrive at the competition!
Favourite horse/horses and why? Pure Luck (Joss) My mum bought her as a 3 year old
for me, she was just broken in. Didnt start eventing until she was 9, she won her
first Class and was pointed intermediate in her first season of competition. Never had a
stop cross country and reached advanced level of competition before she was retired to
breed CHAMPIONS!!!!!
Who has inspired you the most and why? My uncle Bert, he believed in me and my
ability to train horses, and continued to give me lessons whilst on a respirator with
cancer until two weeks before he died.
Who do you train with now? Ron Paterson

Short Term Dreams and Plans To train horses to a level and sell them and make
LOTS of money
Long Term Dreams and Plans After I have made my FORTUNE, set my self up with 2 or 3
good horses and see what happens!
Advice for aspiring eventers Believe in your self, listen and learn as much as you
can, but at the end of the day do what you think is right, you have to live with your self
if you go against you gut feeling and something goes wrong. Having said that be sensible
in your decisions! Oh yeah! dont take things too seriously youll
get an ulcer! |
