I have been riding since was 8 years old. I started competing when I was 13 and I branched out to train my own horses at 17.
Most Memorable Moment:My most memorable moment would have to be coming back after a 10-month break with no riding after a serious accident resulting in breaking my pelvis and coming back to my first comp back in the 95 at Geelong Horse Trials and winning on my dressage score of 29 penalties.
I am also so proud of my recent win at Wandin Horse Trials in my horses first 95.
Favourite Horse?The same horse is a horse I almost gave up on but persisted with and thanks to my family support, coaches and his amazing supplements getting him feeling his best and feeling settled. He is the horse of a lifetime, with many more wins to come as we move up the levels.

How will HSD benefit your horses?
Horse Supplements Direct will benefit my horses incredibly. It’s so important to me to have my horses feeling and looking as good as they possibly can to get the best results. As riders we put so much time and effort in but it’s pointless if our horses aren’t feeling their best and thanks to HSD my horses are both looking and feeling their best.
My favourite go to supplement is Digestive EQ by Poseidon. It is imperative to our horse’s gut health and helps my horses at comps with their nerves as it keeps their guts settled, also a big advocate of Tuff Rock EJF to help my horses stay sound and happy as well as Tuff rock Poultice post XC to assist in swelling reduction and inflammation for my horse’s joints.

I started riding when I was eleven years old, so around five years ago. When I first started, I started in hacking and Pony club with my first pony Shadow and then moved into mounted games with him. It wasn't until I got my first horse ‘Eddie’ when I was twelve that I found my passion for showjumping.
My most memorable moment would have to be when we took Eddie to my first PC showjumping competition in Goulburn where he confidently took me around and brought home E grade reserve champion. This was so special to me as Eddie was truly the love of my life.
This is a tough one. It would definitely have to be between two of my current horses, Ellie and Chase. Ellie is so brave and forgives me when I make mistakes and has taken me around some of my biggest tracks. But having trained Chase myself, all his buttons are exactly how I like them and he is such a fun willing horse with the quirkiest personality. Chase is my baby and Ellie is such a sweetheart, how does a mother pick a favourite.
The hard horses are the ones that make you a better rider and never forget why you started riding horses.
HSD helps to keep them feeling their best so they can perform their best. This requires a holistic approach ensuring all my horses nutritional needs are met which varies depending on their age, level and personal requirements. HSD provide a variety of supplements from a various brands to meet these needs along with their knowledgeable staff. In this economy they provide value for money across there large range.
The ‘Konkhe’s Own Muscle-XL’ all the way. I honestly could not live without this product. I use it on all my horses from my competition horses to to my youngsters. It is a supplement that genuinely shows results and helps my horses build strength and muscle when in work. I seriously can not recomend this product enough.
