Gemma Tinney
Discipline: Eventing
Home town: Maraylya, New South Wales
How did your love of the horse begin?
I have eventing in my blood, having begun riding as a 5-year-old and competing as an 11-year-old, with dreams of becoming a top level event rider just like my father, Olympian Stuart Tinney.
What are your competition achievements highlights?
I've had much success in Australia such as completing my first 5* at age 21 and numerous wins including Adelaide 3DE, Melbourne 3DE and placing in young rider championships.
What are your goals?
I am preparing to take on the international eventing circuit early next year 2024 in the UK. I believe I have the determination and motivation to exceed at the highest levels in eventing and I'm training hard to represent Australia on the global stage.
Tell us a bit about yourself and your team
I am an Australian 5* event rider, based in Maraylya, New South Wales, Australia on my family’s 30 acre property with a very big support team of family and dedicated staff.
What are your favourite products from Horseland you use, and why?
This is easy! I can’t live without the Kool Coat Airstream - my horses live in these all through the summer months, and the WeatherBeeta medium and heavy rugs through the winter months.
Pro Tec Event Boots XC are a must. No slip, no rub, never have to worry about my horses' legs whilst they are on.
Collegiate bridles - the soft leather fits well and looks amazing.
WeatherBeeta travel boots - I always know my horses are protected whilst travelling.
