Here are Shannan’s top 10 must haves that keep her and her horses on top of their game:

1. SUPA-LICIOUS Equine Treats: they are an all natural treat and my horses are crazy about them.

2. Emergency Kit from The Horse Herbalist: including The Horse Herbalist’s “Settle Petal” to calm young horse (& rider!) nerves, and all our first aid needs.

3. My Amerigo saddle: from Edwards Saddleworld Toowoomba, this saddle has done wonders for my riding.

4. Morning and afternoon walks: Astro at the big comps likes to have an hour each morning and night to graze, usually includes a good roll, and he will take some time to lick dirt which keeps him happy.

5. A jog: helps manage any competition nerves building up and keeps Shannan happy.

6. Bacon and egg burger for breakfast: just the right way to start the day.

7. A banana: usually half an hour before I ride, to give me the energy I need.

8. Zone in time: usually consists of learning my test, watching past tests on the iPad and sometimes even a quick 20 minute power nap.

9. A thousand pins and hair ties to keep my hair in, as it’s very long and thick.

10. A super groom: usually my Mum or my partner, to be there to share the moments with me.
