Hobbies
I have been fortunate to combine my passion for horses and my urge to organise for many years, as a result i have ended up with 3 of my own horses and a busy calender. I enjoy reading and relaxing when i can, i love the great outdoors and New Zealand is the place to enjoy all of the above. My partner and i have recently taken up tennis which i have become very fond of despite not being a naturally gifted tennis player!
