Renee Pedretti

Renee Pedretti 28 years old.

I completed my schooling at Daylesford High School in 1999. After completing year 12 I started working with horses. I travelled to Germany many times over winter to work and train in different stables, gaining experience and knowledge which I brought home to put into my own horses and pupils.

Two years ago I sold my grand prix horse Sunbury Lodge Thomas and travelled to Europe. Thanks to my very generous sponsor Hamag I was able to purchase two young horses Whoopy and Eddie.

I then stayed in Denmark to continue training with them. I decided after three months of snow and sub zero tempretures to return back to Australia with my horses. I was finding it very difficult to train and live without the support of my family and friends.

So in March this year Whoopy, Eddie, myself and my boyfriend Stefan moved to my parents property in Blampied.

Whoopy is a 175 cm 7 year old bay mare by Jazz out of a Jet set D mare. Eddie is 165 cm 6 year old bay gelding. I hope to spend the next couple of months training with both horses. When they are ready I will start to compete them.

My plans are to be based at “Yeramba” where I will teach and take horses for training. I will also become involved in “Yeramba Equestrian” helping my sister with the business.

Many thanks to all my sponsors who have stood by me over the years I couldn’t have achieved all that I have without you.
