Running on average
20 -25 horses, we primarily
focus on campaigning eventers for ourselves and several
owners, plus we provide an elite training centre for other
up-and-coming performance riders.
We have been in business together since
1990 and married since 1993. We met whilst competing
at 3-Day Events around Australia, and initially ran a joint
agistment business in Kenthurst, NSW, 10 kms from where
we live now.
After successes at major events throughout
Australia and Europe, we turned our focus to an Olympic dream
- which was eventually realised with an exciting Gold medal
in the teams event at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
Today,
Karen concentrates on running our business, Tinney Eventing,
training horses and competing as well as her new venture Club
Equus, whilst Stuart tours Australia and overseas - coaching,
competing, and searching for potential top performance horses
to both campaign and sell.
We have two young daughters, Jaymee and Gemma.
