Ballarat Turf Club Awards Night 🥂🏇🏼

A rare occasion where we traded the yard boots/ riding boots for heels & swapped the stables for a night out 🥰

Thankful to all of these lovely ladies from Mitch Freedman Racing, Especially for tolerating the Kiwi accent for 12 months! 😉😂.. such lovely ladies that I’m so fortunate to work with!
.and of course Colby Baynes for his fabulous daily Dad Jokes he yells from the tower (as you are riding past) and his funny antics forever giving all of the Turf Club reasons to smile.

Ballarat Turf Club Award Night 🏇✨

Because race girls don’t just take racing seriously… we take going out seriously too 😉🥂🏇

Yes I am 25yo and dress my very successful ex race horse as a pony in pj’s.. he doesn’t mind one bit 😉🥰…

For reference this was at 7:30pm last night..

Living on your own in a different country is smooth sailing… most of the time 🥲😂

Sharp object: 1
Laura’s foot: 0 🩸😂

So today I’m sporting a rather impressive bandage around my foot. Thankfully, the important question is… can I still fit it in my riding boot? 😉

The answer is YES so the horses will, of course, be worked regardless 🙌🏼😂

Because apparently nothing stops an horse girl… not even my own stupidity 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

23 HORSES. 67% OF THE YEAR. AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED. 😱🐴

We are officially 67% of the way through 2026, and White Rose Equine has now trained and rehomed 23 horses and counting! 🤎

That officially makes 2026 my most successful year yet… and honestly, there’s a part of this achievement that still blows my mind.

We’ve done it in ANOTHER COUNTRY. 🇳🇿➡️🇦🇺

I built White Rose Equine in New Zealand, and moving to Australia meant starting again from the ground up. A new country, new clients, new connections, new horses and an entirely new chapter.

Yet somehow, we’ve managed to make this my biggest and most successful year of White Rose Equine so far. 🥹

And I genuinely couldn’t be more thankful.

Thank you to every person who has trusted me with their horse, recommended me, shared my posts, sent someone my way, purchased a horse, followed along, supported my business or simply cheered me on.

Every horse I get the privilege of working with represents someone putting their trust in me and that is something I will never take for granted.

23 horses. 23 new chapters. And so many incredible people behind every single one. 🤎

From New Zealand to Australia… what started as a little dream has become something I’m incredibly proud of.

And we still have 33% of the year left. 👀🐴

Thank you for being part of White Rose Equine. Here’s to seeing what we can achieve next. 🤎

11 years ago today… ❤️

14-year-old me, standing beside my very first pony, Libby “Woodlands Park Charlotte.”

Little Laura didn’t know that this little pony would be the beginning of a life completely shaped around horses. She didn’t know how many horses she would eventually ride, retrain, love, lose, save, sell and help find new homes.

She didn’t know horses would become her career, her greatest passion, her biggest heartbreak, her safest place and, at times, the very thing that kept her going.

She certainly didn’t know she would one day leave the country she grew up in and build a life around horses on a slightly different side of the world.

But she knew one thing…

She absolutely loved horses. 🥹

Looking back at this photo 11 years later makes me emotional because that little 14-year-old girl was just beginning a journey she could never have dreamed would become her entire life.

I wish I could sit beside her for a moment and tell her:

“Keep going. You’re going to go through some things you never thought you could. You’re going to lose your way sometimes. But don’t ever lose this girl who just loves horses with her whole heart.”

Libby was the beginning of it all.

And 11 years later, somehow, I’m still that same horse-crazy girl…

Just with a few more horses, a few more grey hairs and a LOT more stories. 😂❤️🐴

Forever grateful for the little pony who started it all. 🤍

This little horse absolutely BROKE my phone! 📱😂 Emails, texts, phone calls and DMs… and he sold to the VERY FIRST people who came to view him! 🤩

Tourello was nothing but an absolute pleasure to have in my training program, and I couldn’t be happier knowing he has found such a beautiful family to continue his journey with. 🥹❤️

I’m SO incredibly thankful for the support I receive from the wider equestrian community. Seeing more and more people recognise just how incredible ex-racehorses are their brains, versatility, trainability and willingness to learn a completely new job is honestly one of my favourite parts of what I do. 🏇🏼🤎

These horses have SO much to give when someone is willing to give them the opportunity.

Thank you to everyone who follows, shares, enquires, recommends and supports White Rose Equine. Every single one of you helps these horses find their next chapter. 🫶🏼

Go well, Tourello! I can’t wait to see what your future holds. 🤩

If you want a horse that feels like sitting on the most comfortable sofa you can imagine, carries himself so softly and beautifully, and is BEYOND adjustable… this is your guy. 😍

He is genuinely my MOST FAVOURITE horse to sit on in a day and most days I’m riding at least 15 horses! 🏇🏼❤️

SHIGERU “ROO”

7yo | Bay Gelding
Approx. 16.1hh
By Kobayashi
📍 Bacchus Marsh, VIC 🇦🇺

The type of horse you accidentally fall completely in love with… 🥹

So much so that I genuinely don’t want to let the reins go! Roo is an absolute DREAM to ride and is every dressage rider’s dream mount. 🤩

He has a true gentleman temperament, is quiet and lovely to have around, an absolute pleasure to work with and, of course, seriously handsome! 🥰

Under saddle, Roo has beautiful movement, wonderfully adjustable gaits and fantastic rideability. He is insanely comfortable and honestly feels more like you’re sitting on a Warmblood x Clydie than a Thoroughbred! 😍

And those flying changes… 👀🔥

Roo unfortunately retired from racing in early 2025 after sustaining a hairline fracture to his near-front cannon bone. He had appropriate time completely out of work before returning to the saddle and has remained sound on this leg since returning to work. The injury occurred over 12 months ago.

I don’t anticipate this preventing him from having a long and enjoyable life outside racing, provided he has an appropriate workload. For this reason, I am looking for a dressage or pleasure-based home, rather than a home wanting to pursue high-level jumping.

Unfortunately, Roo was later neglected in another home and became severely underweight. His racing trainer stepped back in, removed him from that situation and nursed him back to full health.

Once recovered, Roo came to me to begin his next chapter. ❤️

Despite everything, he has remained kind, willing and genuine.

He is light and respectful on the lead, stands quietly tied in the barn, self-loads on the float and has been absolutely no fuss.

Currently paddocked happily in a small herd and barefoot.

After everything Roo has been through, I would LOVE to see him find the forever home he deserves. ❤️
