0039 – Hazel Hikins

November 7, 2017 by Horse Chats

Less is More From a Judging Perspective

Less is More From a Judging Perspective

 

About Hazel
–  Hazel started out riding when she was 10 years old at riding school and enjoyed the experience and spent 20 years teaching others to ride. Hazel became a judge when Harry Bolt and his wife did and seminar in Perth and said that Hazel had to signup to become a judge before the seminar so that’s what she did.

A big thank you to Ramon Guerrero who motivated and encouraged me to keep riding when I had reached the crossroads with a difficult horse.
