I've riding since I was 9 at my family's riding school. I've used, and ridden over 20 Ponies and Horses, and I do showjumping up to 1.2m.

Baal, Head security officer

I was born/raised in New Zealand, and always had an interest in animals, so when my mother started Southstar Equestrian in 2019, I was very eager to begin my equestrian journey. Now as I have ridden for a couple years, I help around the equestrian and every so often teach some basic horse care to the newcomers. I hope that when I get older, I will have the chance to become a coach in dressage.
