E-Dressage: Commitment to Competition | Weekly Interviews with Top Dressage Riders | Dressage Succes...

Raised on the West Coast of New Zealand, Jody's love of horses was apparent from a very early age. By the age of 6, she managed to convince her very non-horsey parents to buy her her first pony. Initially, Jody would compete in all disciplines, with a passion for jumping- dressage took a back seat until her wonderful warmblood mare Mountain Breeze opened the door to her dressage career. From there, Jody's dressage went from strength to strength, and a string of wonderful horses helped Jody climb to Grand Prix level. Jody's passion now lies in breeding and developing Spanish horses for high level dressage. She regularly competes the Lusitano stallion Ali Baba at Grand Prix level, with great success!
