Best Of Both Worlds!

Growing up on a farm and riding horses at the age of four was basically my life. I started competing at around the age of six for my local club and has now grown to something that is huge for me and it is now what I basically do in the holidays non-stop. From representing my club all around the country side to representing my zone at a state level, where people even out of New South Wales compete. I have done a lot of horse riding for my school too, I’ve been representing Spring Ridge Public School for all my years there and now I have just started competing for Shore.

From the farm, I now move my life to boarding at Shore. My time so far here at Shore has been great and I have enjoyed nearly every second of it. You may or may not have been told that boarding can be a bit stressful but it really isn’t, the routines here are extremely easy to get into the habit of doing and if you forget something, you know that you will always have your mates to help you out with things. At the start I really didn’t know anyone but after a few weeks, you will end up being friends with just about everyone in the boarding house. My mates to me are like family, they are always there when you need them and we all look after each other. Boarding here at Shore has so far been one of the best years of my life and should continue through the rest of my years here. – Wylie Hockey (Year 7)
