Rachael developed a love of dressage in her 20’s. She has been fortunate enough to have access to wonderful trainers in her area to help her with her dressage pursuits.

Rachael came across Western Dressage and was impressed by the friendly atmosphere and welcoming committee members, so much so, that in 2020 she decided to join up and get involved.  She judged the WDA-AUS National Show in 2022.  Rachael joined the National Management Committee member in 2023.

Rachael is an EA dressage judge and has judged dressage throughout Victoria, including the Victorian State Championships and Victorian Interschools Championships, as well as Eventing Dressage and Pony Dressage.

Rachael believes that dressage training can benefit horses and riders of all disciplines.
