Kelcie’s story:
I was born and grew up in Brighton, Tasmania near Hobart. I lived there until I was 17 and then moved to South West Victoria to a tiny place called Nerang with one of my horses. There I attained an Advanced Diploma in Equine Management and Diploma of Agriculture. After this I was a working student for an Olympic Stable, learning and growing as a rider, before going to University for Physiotherapy. I grew up in sports, I’ve always just loved to participate and play. Surf life saving, netball, hockey, tennis, cross country, athletics, swimming, etc. I’ve been in state levels for athletics, swimming and games riding, nationals for eventing and figure skating and represented Australia in cheerleading. During my degree I worked in sports retail and for a local div2 local AFL team as a sports trainer. I have a wonderful husband who is as passionate about sports and health as I am and we have two horse mad, active little girls who came into our lives in the middle (Charlotte) and the end of my degree (Natalie).
