Travelling all the way from WA to compete in the Australian Dressage Championships had a special meaning for Louise Hillman who was riding with a green rosette in memory of her young student Ali. "I am here really, to remember that you have to live your dream. No one else can live it for you, you have to do it yourself. You cannot sit and wait for things to be perfect!"

WORLD CHAMPION BOYD EXELL INSPIRING AUSTRALIAN INVOLVEMENT IN CARRIAGE DRIVING

At the age of 20, Maxine Lange fell from a horse and fractured the C1 vertebrae in her neck. The injury caused her to lose her balance and she was told by doctors that she could never ride again.
Deeply passionate about horses, Maxine was determined to keep up her involvement with her favourite animals.
So, she took out a stable hand license in a harness racing stable and forged a career for herself in the sport. In 1997 became a trainer/driver in Queensland and enjoyed success with her first horse Miss Eli Dee.
Ten years later she became interested in carriage driving, a sport that, like harness racing, enables her to be hands-on with horses without having to ride them.

Sarah Sherwood, based in Queensland, was competing in Grade IV Para-dressage at the 2017 Australian Dressage Championships to have fun with her much-loved pony Janevelyn Tsunami.
