Quick questions with Elsie

WHICH ARE YOUR FAVOURITE BARE PRODUCTS AND WHY?

My favourite BARE products would be the BARE tank tops, because they are so breathable and easy to exercise in, they are also super cute! I love the winter range, and absolutely love the Hollie Jacket!

WHAT EQUESTRIAN ACHIEVEMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?

It’s hard to pick just one achievement because I’m so extremely proud of all the achievements I have achieved. I am most proud of qualifying to represent NSW at nationals on my pony 3 times, also achieving some Royal Champions.

HOW DO YOU STAY MOTIVATED?

I keep to a routine, routine is a big priority for me to stay motivated and sticking to a schedule, especially when you have school and other priorities I find scheduling out horse training helps me.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST COMPETITION DAY TIP OR ADVICE?

Always keep it nice and calm. For you and for your horse relax and calm thoughts is what is best for you and your horse. Your horse needs to have a good experience especially if it is a young horse.

DO YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR GOAL OR PLAN YOU’RE EXCITED ABOUT IN 2024?

My goals will be continuing campaigning my young horses and consistently taking them out for a positive experience as much as possible. Also working with my pony Darcy and hopefully getting more into some pony dressage!
