Edwena’s involvement in showjumping (like so many in these pages) started with her daughter’s riding career. Beginning with Pony Club, Edwena has been always been deeply involved with the organisation and administration of such groups, including many years on Jumping NSW and now a committee member of Sydney Jump Club.
Edwena’s first event was Jump Over The Mountains in Orange (in 2008) – and progressed 2 short years later to hosting NSW Jumping Championships – for 6 years – 2 years in Gundagai, 2 in Tamworth and in 2015 and 2016 at SIEC. In 2011 Edwena hosted the 2011 Australian Jumping Championships in Dubbo.
Edwena is a cook – and has been catering in and around the Central West of NSW for nearly 30 years. Based in Cudal, 45km west of Orange, she is married with two [grown up] children, Jennifer (a professional rider, trainer and coach) and Edward (a miner living in WA) – and two granddaughters – Lucy aged 3 and Ella who has her first birthday on WC day – 24 August. Happy Birthday Ella.
