MEET GRAEME

The voice of the Equestrian world. Everyone knows Graeme’s voice. A knowledgeable commentator at every big horse event in the country.

From Barastoc Horse of the Year, through Royal Shows and  Show Jumping championships, he was so familiar with the sports and those who competed in them. He made commentary interesting not just for the competitors but the general public as well.

He was a top rider before he took up commentating, was champion boy rider at Royal Melbourne, and rode with success in the famous Gawler Three Day Event.
