A passion for horses..

Growing up around horses, it didn’t take long for me to realise my true passion lies in training and showing Miniature Horses.

At just 14 years old, I purchased my first horse, Kamelco Park Wild At Heart, who quickly became my whole world. From that moment, my journey in the miniature horse industry truly began. Since then, I have achieved far more than I ever imagined possible, competing across multiple states in Australia and at National Shows. Some of my proudest accomplishments include winning Supreme titles at the National level, including the prestigious Supreme of Supremes.

In 2021, I established my own stud, Aradelle Miniatures, located in the beautiful Hunter Valley, NSW. Alongside the stud, I operate a boutique training centre, allowing me to work closely with both my own horses and a team of client horses. I am incredibly grateful for the trust my clients place in me to train, prepare, and present their horses to the highest standard in the show ring.

My goal with Aradelle Miniatures is to breed National-quality show horses that possess exceptional colour, class, conformation, movement, and that special “wow factor” that turns heads. I am deeply passionate about both my stud and show team, and I compete competitively throughout New South Wales, as well as travelling to Queensland and Victoria for major shows.

With a large team of both client horses and homebred horses, I take immense pride in ensuring every horse enters the ring looking its absolute best — because in the show world, presentation is everything.

“When your horse follows you without being asked, when he rubs his head on yours, and when you look at him and feel a tingle down your spine… you know you are loved”.
