GROOM OF THE YEAR FINALIST
Whitney Hurst
MEET WHITNEY
Whitney has worked all her career in the horse industry from being a qualified jockey herself to managing racing stables, working with vets and now working full time for Glenwood Park (Brook and Angela Dobbin) for 20 months. Whitney looks after horses competing to the highest level in Australia from breaking in horses to World Cup horses. She can be looking after up to 12 horses at a show, maintaining presentation to the highest standards. Most horses are plaited. Whitney also studs them and ices their legs when they have finished competing. At the end of the day when you think you have had enough, she will clean all the gear used from that day of competition.
