Photographer
If I could train with anyone in the world it would be…..
There are so many, I can’t single one out.
My proudest moment was….
My proudest moments relate to the success of others that are important to me. The greatest honour was opening the Olympic games. Sydney 2000.
Who do you find inspirational and why?
I have been inspired by many great people but I don’t have one that stands alone
The most memorable horse you’ve owned and why?
Jamieson because he taught me so much and performed in so many disciplines and events. He was able to turn heads wherever he went. He was probably the most trainable horse that I have ever worked with. He always tried at 110%
The most important thing I’ve learnt is…..
To be prepared to look at problems (whether they be with horses or humans) from the ooher persons point of view
A day in the life of me is like this……
For me there is seldom a pattern to my daily life. I try to keep it that way in order to keep my life interesting. I am very fortunate in that I am often going somewhere new and doing something different.
My five year plan is…..
Move from the northern beaches (where I love it) in order to have more space which will allow better facilities.
Continue to travel with my work but take more time to enjoy it.
My motto is…..
He who does the most homework wins.

Motivation often sounds like a lot of pressure - "I must" or "I should", but really it is about you creating a mindset of "I really want" or "I get to".

When we hope for change or improvement coming from something (or someone) external to us, we set ourselves up for frustration and failure.
