She is the first rider to ever produce a Grand Prix horse in Central QLD.  Claire is now aiming to produce her 3rd with the Furstenball mare, WW Furst Dance. Known as Marple, this mare has exceptional talent and has also won many regional championships as well as placing 3rd in Qld State YH championship as a 6yr old. 

With a solid string of young horses coming through, all started from yearlings at Lexington Farm, Claire is looking forward to developing these young horses through the levels.

As the horses develop from 4yrs to FEI athletes, Claire recognises the importance of correctly fitting saddles that allow the horses shoulder to move freely and show their best paces. This is why Claire is super excited to work with Peter Horobin Saddlery with the support of saddle fitter Terry Sakai. Riders in CQld do not have regular access to coaches or industry support people. So the continual support from Terry is very valuable and is certainly one of the reasons Claire has chosen to ride in a PHS saddle , The Stride Free Elite.

Claire is looking forward to a bright and successful partnership with Peter Horobin Saddlery and is super appreciative of the on going support from Terry Sakai.
