Shannan Connell - Mullumbimby NSW
I bought 'Aristede' as a breaker and we came through the levels to Grand Prix. He won numerous championships including national and CDI Grand Prix championships and has been awarded QLD FEI Horse of the Year in 2016, 2017 & 2018.
'Somerset Flemington' is still at the beginning of his journey, but we work each day towards him becoming a future Grand Prix horse. During the day I work as a child psychologist, specialising in supporting families with Autism.
My Favourite Black Horse Clothing Item... Would be the Bridget Meryl Fabric Breeches.
