How long have you been riding, and what disciplines do you participate in?
I began riding when I was 10 years old after many years of ballet. Although back then my parents told me ‘you can learn to ride, but don’t think you are going to get a pony’. I began competing with Australian Stock Horses when I was 15 years old and have been competing ever since. Before Stock Horses I competed throughout Queensland and New South Wales at Pony Club Sporting and Campdrafting events.
Can you share a memorable experience or achievement from your time as a horse rider?
My most memorable experience was winner the Maturity Plate with my 4 year oldgelding Meluca Stud Dazzle at the Australian Stock Horse Nationals. I was training him in his 2 year old and 3 year old year, so it was fantastic to be able to put it altogether at such an elite level.
What are your goals and aspirations in your equestrian journey?
I am always striving to present my horses to the best of their ability, not just physically, but also in their education. Education takes rider dedication and time. I thoroughly enjoy the never-ending learning journey with each and every horse to continually further their education. I aspire to never stop learning and I’m always looking for ways to improve with my horses.
What is your must-have Peter William item and why?
Jeans! A have both Clermont & Tamworth jeans that are my ‘go to’ for competition jeans. They combine elegance with comfort!

Derby Junior Horse Riding Breeches - White - Child 10
Oh my goodness, when the white junior derby breeches went on sale during Black Friday, I couldn’t resist grabbing two pairs! I dyed them pearl grey and charcoal for a more practical use, since I love the feel and comfort of those high-quality riding breeches. With their high cotton blend, they’re perfect for the scorching Australian summers and keep you warm in winter too. These Derby breeches are definitely my all-time favourites – they’re super durable and they even help improve my performance in the saddle. Keep up the good work Peter Williams Riding
These breeches are perfection! I have had the toughest time finding a fair of contrast seat white competition breeches which ticks all the boxes and these are it! They have pockets, are supportive, fantastic grip that keeps me secure in the saddle, belt loops, they stay white after a cold water wash and most importantly are light enough for competing in the heat without being see through.
Added bonus is the Peter Williams customer service, I had a slight issue with my tights which was a manufacturing fault and they immediately let me know and offered to replace them. I am so pleased with my whole PW purchasing experience.
