Shannan Connell - Mullumbimby NSW
After a big season in 2018 with my Grand Prix horse Aristede, campaigning for the World Equestrian Games in Tryon and being selected as a reserve on the team, I then got married, had a beautiful baby girl and started a new team of horses.
Since Covid and the lockdowns, we have focussed on growing our family businesses and raising our child. I have since started a new team of horses. I currently have Ashwood S Palladyn my 7 year old, who I have very high hopes for in the future, Ashwood Park London Prada who is just exceptional and Bogart, who was bought to teach my husband to ride (3 years ago) and has decided he's not being left out- and is currently training all of the Grand Prix moves.
We look forward to getting out and about competing in the future.
My Favourite Black Horse Clothing Item... Would be the Bridget Meryl Fabric Breeches.
