Georgia Crowe
My name is Georgia and I have been riding for 17 years. After many years of searching, buying and trying different ponies, I finally found Callendale Loyalty, or “Jet” as he is known at home. Jet is a 14.2hh Australian Riding Pony gelding and over the ten years he has been with me he has taken me to state level Dressage, excelled in pony Dressage and achieved success both jumping and the show ring.
I have been a member of Biddlesden Park for two years now and love being part of a small club. We are a welcoming group of people that encourages and supports all our members.
Outside of riding I love travelling and try to get overseas each year. I love design and architecture and am currently undertaking a Building Design and Drafting degree.

Justine Mizzi
My Name is Justine & I’ve been a member of Biddlesden Park EC since early 2010. I’ve been riding since Primary School (over 20 years ago) and still have my first pony ‘Peggie Sue’; a Grey 13hh Riding Pony at home today. She taught me the ropes (fell off lots!) and took me all the way through the grades at Ringwood Pony Club in absolutely every discipline – even games. I always loved showing and had several hacks over the following years and competed successfully to Royal level. Through my 20’s I had a big break from riding, but stayed active within the equestrian scene through teaching at Monash Pony Club, passing my Level 1 NCAS coaching accreditation, filling lots of Pony Club dressage and open showing judging appointments and helping out as chief strapper for my mum at HRCAV comps.
In 2009, I felt it time to get another horse and join the HRCAV. Biddlesden Park was my first choice as I had known Janet for years. I bought William, who had raced over jumps till he was 9 and didn’t do much more after that apart from a few pony club rallies and comps – he had never been to a show before. That really didn’t seem to bother him much. In his first season, starting at level 2, he pointed up to level 1 after only 6 shows, competed successfully at TTT showing in Albury where our team finished 4th, took me to Champion Level 1 rider at Barastoc and finished 4th in the HRCAV Top Ten for the season. Since then he has pointed through to Level 2 Dressage and has started some Combined Training (not his mother’s strength!). He loves it though and we managed to help the Biddlesden team to victory at TTT CT 2012 which was only our second combined training day.
I enjoy being a member of Biddlesden Park and representing our club at comps, competing at the TTT events and helping out as a committee member in organisation of club events and managing our website.

Megan Cheeseman
Hi My name is Megan. I’ve been riding since I was 2 years old & thanks to my mums influence, I have always loved showing. I have been successfully competing at Royal shows around the country most of my life, but have very recently joined Biddlesden Park as I love to keep trying different things in my riding and love to be part of a team. I competed at the 2012 TTT Show at Geelong in one of the Biddlesden Park Teams (Diamond Divas) and we were lucky enough to finish in Third place overall. My current horse, Gleneagles Giorgio (Giorgio) is a Big, Beautiful 17hh Clydesdale/TB x Anglo Arabian and he is my pride and joy. Giorgio always puts his best foot forward in the show ring and has carried me to many successes in open rider classes. Our biggest honor to date was taking out the 2011 Barastoc Heavyweight Show Hunter Saddle Horse of the Year. Giorgio was also sashed Champion Showhunter & Champion Arabian Derivative at Melbourne Royal Horse Show 2011.
Outside of riding, I also enjoy speedway racing and compete at local Ag shows and Horse of the year shows around Victoria. I am looking forward to attending more HRCAV dressage & showing comps representing Biddlesden Park in the future.
