About us

Madison Simpson

Maddy started riding lessons in early primary school at Pine Lodge Equestrian Centre, Chantal Wigan found her first little white pony Monte. Monte was a very smart little pony and was great to start Maddy’s riding. A few years later Maddy wanted to start jumping and began having lessons with Kevin Mcnab at Kelecyn. At 12 years of age she acquired Major James (Yogi), she started off in her first intro and completed Adelaide 4star on Yogi at 18 years old. Maddy had great success on Yogi, winning a few three stars and being selected on the National Senior Recognition Eventing Squad 2015. Maddy has also worked as a track rider at Kolora Lodge for a couple of years which has given her great experience in working with so many different horses.
