Last night I was lucky enough to attend the ESNZ Hall of Fame Awards. I was nominated for Rider of the year which in its self is a huge honour. I felt incredibly grateful to be there and make the final 4 along side Sophie Scott (Showjumping), Samatha Lissington (Eventing) and Robert James (Endurance). Sitting and listening to everyone else’s results was truely inspiring and a very surreal moment to be recognised amongst them. The award was taken out by Sophie who truely deserved this award. Well done Sophie and also well done Samantha and Robert. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Brooklyn Rankin was also a top 3 finalist for Groom of the year which we are incredibly proud of and she is a winner in our eyes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you Esnz for a great night, it is nice to be recognised in what can be an incredibly tough sport with lots of ups and downs. Thank you to my team, I feel very grateful to be surrounded by amazing friends, family, owners and sponsors I could not do this without you all. Lastly thank you to my amazing horses past and present, all who have been the reason I have achieved what I have and for the reason we keep getting up every morning to do it all again.

Flash back to Nationals 2026 🏆
This one has taken a little bit of time to sink in. Papanui Just Dynamite and I were fortunate to come away with the 2026 Small Tour National Championship, which feels pretty special! We also managed to take out the National Super 5 series for Small Tour, thank you to the sponsors of this series . 🏆🏆
It’s easy to view this result as a single moment in the ring, but it really represents a much longer journey, with many people behind the scenes. Particularly after last year’s injury to my neck, there has been a great deal of work and support required to get to this point. While it may look like it’s just Donny and I out there, we are very much riding with a whole team.
I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by people who give so generously of their time, knowledge and support. Results like this are never achieved alone, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has played a part along the way. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
And to Donny – although our partnership is relatively new, he continues to step up and give his best when it counts. I feel very lucky to be on this journey with him. 🦄🦄
A proud moment, but one that feels part of a much bigger picture. Plenty still ahead, and always much to keep working towards – but feeling very grateful for the path we’re on.

It also makes me really proud to see my students doing so well, particularly Brooklyn taking out the Under 25 GP CDI with Aphrodite and Catherine West and Rambo taking out the Medium! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

A sincere thank you to all those who support me, Donny and I couldn’t have done it without you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Harvest Grains Dressage Waikato Premier league was run under such trying conditions, but for us we still got to run the two boys Irish Coffee and Papanui Just Dynamite as they competed inside.

Saturday was Zilco musical for them both and it was also the final as there is no HOY this year. Irish and I got to ride through our new music which was so fun and we absolutely love it, it happens to be all AI generated music so completely unique for us! How cool it that 🤯 Irish won the medium tour with 69% and also won the Zilco musical series for the year! 🏆🏆
Donny really blow me away with how relaxed and rideable he was and sooo with me. I had never competed him at Taupo before so didn’t know what to expect but he felt very good. Donny won both his tests over the week end, highlight being his musical with 71.65%. He also won the Zilco Musical series for the year for Small Tour 🏆🏆🏆

Thank you to the committee and all the volunteers that trudged on through the week end with limited shows to go to this year it was great to get in another one.

Thank you to all that supported me and the boys over the weekend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well done to Brooklyn for doing her first Grand Prix on Snickers at only 17 you are doing so well and we are really proud of you! 🤩

Thank you to my amazing owners that continue to support and encourage me it means so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Finally thanks to my ever supportive sponsors I feel incredibly lucky to have you in my corner and backing us! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
