Deborah is a competitive dressage rider from Western Australia who is currently competing her Warmblood gelding Deltry Valentino successfully at Elementary level and are working towards making the transition to Medium level during the first quarter 2017.

  

They commenced their riding partnership in August 2012 after Deborah unexpectedly found Valentino while on a trip to NSW.

At this event they were awarded the highest placed Amateur Owner Rider combination for their class.

  

Valentino has also been awarded a gold medal for his outstanding performances at Novice level.

  

Deborah and Valentino are now working towards competing once again at the 2017 National Dressage Championships to be held in Victoria later this year.
