SALLY EVANS

I have been associated with horses for more than 35 years, and my focus has been on dressage riding for more than 25 years. Before this, I was involved in eventing, showjumping, riding racehorses in track work, and various other horse sports. I am available for dressage coaching.

My current performance horses are A Spider Bite (CC), A Heaven Sent (Penny) and A Snap Decision (Snap), all of whom we have bred with our stallion A’Seduction.

My Career Highlights and Selected Competition Results

The years 2015-2016 have been difficult with personal heartbreaks, a dear friend passing on and our property near Ballina having been acquired by the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) to make way for the new Highway. Still, in 2016, we have been able to compete twice with CC and once with Penny. In 2015, we have competed with CC at the Brisbane CDI and she placed twice in the top five (2nd and 5th place).
