Charlotte has always felt more at home on top of a horse rather than sitting back in a trainers’ tower watching track work through binoculars.
With a manageable number of 20 horses in work at any one time, Charlotte is able to maintain a hands on approach to her training. Whether she is riding a gallop, saddling one up, bandaging legs or washing one down, she is never far from her horses.
Charlotte surrounds herself with a team of elite vets, chiropractors and farriers to ensure each horse receives the optimum treatment to exceed on the racetrack.
With a water walker, ice spa, in-ground ground treadmill, ultra sound machines, massage machines, heart rate monitors and a new horse solarium, each horse receives the best in training and rehabilitation aids.
Training racehorses in Australia is very different to her homeland but she still incorporates many of her English ways into her day to day training. Variety is the key and her horses are often seeing working up the hills in the nearby Bunyip State Forest, working in the dressage arena or schooling over cross-country jumps.
