So well deserved Felicity Weal Para Equestrian always great to see you at comps, I'm sure you will climb in the rankings as you and Pepper grow as a combination. Good luck in Sydney next weekend, I wish I could be there to support you.

🌍 𝟐𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 – 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐈𝐈𝐈 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 🌍

The latest FEI World Rankings are out, and I'm incredibly excited to see my name sitting at 𝟐𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 for Grade III Para Dressage.

To also be ranked 𝟏𝟒𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥 among Para Dressage athletes worldwide is something I'm very proud of and is a true reflection of the support team I have 🐴✨

It's easy to get caught up in chasing the next goal, but moments like this are worth celebrating. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far, especially my incredible sponsors:
BARE Equestrian
LP Designs Australia
Earlwood Equine
Belle Equestrian
MTB Equine Products

I just seen this post from a while ago. To let everyone know since meeting Felicity Weal Para Equestrian I have never seen her without a lovely smile. Such a lovely lady.

Today marks 8 years since I joined the wheels over heels club and officially became a paraplegic.
⠀
In that moment, everything I thought I knew about my future shifted — but what I didn’t know then was just how much strength, resilience, and joy would grow from that day forward.

In 8 years, I’ve learned:
• Wheelchairs can be great for speed, questionable for sand.
• Horses don’t care if you can walk, as long as you have snacks.
• Sometimes laughing at yourself is the only way forward.
⠀
Thank you to every single person who’s supported me, pushed me (sometimes literally), and believed in me 💚

Here’s to the universe for making me more interesting at parties 💃 And to whatever comes next - with sarcasm and a smile 👻

Felicity Weal Para Equestrian thank you so much for this lovely post. I will never forget my first event at SIEC, where I first met you. I was nervous as hell, not knowing what to do, I had asked Noella Angel - Para Athlete if I should ask people if they need a hand, her advice was they will ask you if they need a hand. Well, Felicity you did ask for some help, and I thought "I hope I can help", and you gave me a jar you couldn't open. I once helped you at SIEC to carry a couple of things to your car at the end of competition, but just the items you couldn't manage.
When I got to meet Kathy and Noella Angel - Para Athlete through them approaching me to make a float for them, I was going through probably not the best time of my life, after building the float for them and then attending a clinic for Noella's first clinic after amputation, I just got so much out of that clinic that I found something to help me move on from the crap that was my past life.
So, hence travelling to events to support the wonderful Para Equestrian community is now my happy place. I encourage friends to visit as well. I've even been introduced to Para Ice Hockey thanks to Noella Angel - Para Athlete.
Thank you again Felicity Weal Para Equestrian for such kind words, I have felt a bit emotional this afternoon.

Bit of a delayed post, but I wanted to take a moment to thank Cameron McGann from Mansfield Floats and Trailers for all of his support throughout my dressage journey, especially during the recent Boneo Park CPEDI.

I first met Cam through Noella and Kathy Angel at an event where he was supporting Noella, another Para athlete. From that very first meeting, he has been nothing but kind, encouraging and genuinely supportive of whatever goals I've set for myself. Whether it was a few encouraging words, some advice, or simply being there to cheer us on, his support has always been appreciated.

What stands out most is that there are no alterior motives and no expectations of anything in return. Cam simply shows up because he cares. He regularly comes along as a spectator to support all of the Para Dressage community, and we're incredibly lucky to have someone so passionate in our corner.

Thank you, Cam, for making the trip to Boneo, for your continued support, and for bringing such a positive energy to Para. It never goes unnoticed and is greatly appreciated 👏 💐

This post is about a trailer that carrys Horsepower around rather than Horses. So it needs to be in top shape to carry its precious cargo, just like a horse float needs to be in top shape.
I have Fletcher Family Racing trailer in for a service. Once lifted up on the hoist, 1 spring was no longer attached to the chassis, reweld that, find out brakes are worn out. So new brakes and hubs and bearings. Now when the Fletcher's head to Queensland on Monday for the Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway, they will know the trailer is ready for the trip. Good luck at the biggest drag race meet of the year.

Hi all my lovely followers, I have to admit this is last years flyer, I can't find the new one for 2027. Our monetary aim is the same $50K, every battery helps. I travel between Mansfield and Strathalbyn regularly, if you are in that area, I will make the effort to pick up batteries. I also travel between Mansfield and Melbourne through the Yarra Valley etc. I think I could also get drop off points if people want to get behind helping , every battery makes a difference. I have a great mate in Gippsland who is grabbing batteries, thanks Gibbo. I have people all over who will store them if you have dead batteries. Give me a call 0427 879 676.
