My Schooling

I spent my younger years at Moora Primary school, which was located 10mins from our farm. Then in year  2000 my parents made the decision to send me to Boarding school as the local Moora high school was very limited with its opportunities. I spent the next 5 years at Perth College which is located in Mt Lawley in Perth. Mum use to keep my ponies in work and would drive to Perth so I could ride them on the weekend. In 2002 we purchased a small property in the Swan Valley, it appeared to be the next logical step as we were all very keen to continue our riding careers and needed a place to base ourselves. I graduated from Perth college in 2004 and had a gap year.I worked and rode horses for half of the year in Perth and then moved to Adelaide for a few months to work for Gill Rolton. In 2006 I began my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Curtin University, after 3.5 years I graduated and began applying for Jobs. I got an interview at Princess Margaret Hospital (Pediatric) and was offered a Job starting in August 2009. So to fill the time I went travelling to Mexico and Europe! I am now partway through my Post Graduate program as a Registered Nurse and loving it :)

My Family

I am a member of the Isbister family. Julie and Ian my parents own a grain farm in Moora, two hours north of Perth WA. Loving the outdoors I spent most of my time riding with my sister and helping dad round up the sheep with our ponies. The farm was a great place to grow up, allowing me to appreciate the simple things in life! 

Julie our mother was a avid event rider competing up to Advanced level with 'Yoda Lady', whilst training several other horses to a top level in Dressage and eventing. Therefore we were on a pony as soon as we could walk and were soon obsessed.  

Emma & Cisco 

I have two sisters, Sarah and Emma, who are both passionate about horses. Together we manage Perth Performance Horses. As a family we train a handful of carefully selected or homebred horses to event or show jump. We aim to produce a competition horse that is well educated and believe that allowing young horses to develop at their own pace is the key to success. 

Learning to ride! Sarah & Belinda

Ian my father has supported our riding without question, we will owe him for the rest of our lives! Without him it would have made it very difficult to peruse our riding career as after all it is an expensive sport.
