I do find this exercise of summarising who I am and what I have accomplished to date awkward, trying to capture the parts of yourself that make you who you are, and then put them into words seems reflective of putting a genie back in the bottle but some of you won't know me so I have summarised some of the more notable points give you some idea.
AGE: 38
BORN: Auckland, NEW ZEALAND
LIVES IN: Northwest Brisbane, AUSTRALIA with my husband Jon and our son Miles.
FOUR LEGGERS: 3 OTTB's which I try to compete with when the stars and weather gods align.
MY WHY: Horses and family. That is it, horses are my soul and family (friends included) are my heart. I want the best for both and I will continue to do everything I can to make sure that they have the best in life.
I remember when I first went to Lexington, KENTUCKY at 21 years of age to begin an internship, I was met at the airport by a fellow intern an Italian veterinarian whose first question to me was "Do you come from a horsey family?" "No." I replied, to which he remarked "So you are born with the sickness then! There is no cure for what we have." I do remember thinking that was the best description of the love and passion I have for horses I had ever heard, and it validated my 20 hours of travel on my own from Auckland, NZ to work for $100 per week for the foreseeable future.
