I am a full time equine veterinarian by day, and a competitive dressage rider in my spare time! I run “Russell Equine”, a boutique performance horse breeding operation also offering short term agistment of sport horses from our home on a 300 acre beef farm in Palmerston North. I live and breath horses, they are my livelihood, my hobby and my passion! I currently have two competition horses; HPH Prospero, a little level 4 horse with a big ego, and Donneroyale, an exciting 5 year old who I think will be quite special, level 2 this season. I have a particular interest in sport horse performance and rehabilitation. I’m excited to work alongside Sue with the Harry Dabbs brand who offer a unique custom fitted, extensive, high quality saddle range. I think this could offer a real solution to a lot of people struggling with a horse with saddle fit issues, as well as those horses and riders that are easier to fit and looking for a beautiful saddle.

I was fortunate enough to compete my main ride Marokopa Toku Moe in both Showhunter and Showjumping last season with many wins and placings upto 1.20m in my super comfy and well fitting Harry Dabbs saddle, as well as winning the Opotiki Derby and Equitation prize. Unfortunately this season will not be able to as consistent due to starting full time work which consists of night shift and on Saturdays untill midday, but will hopefully aim to still qualify for Horse of the Year Showhunter like last year. Can’t thank my saddle enough.
