Lynda grew up on her family’s sheep and cattle property in a district called Timor, in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales. The youngest of five children, Lynda began pony club around the age of three and often spent days mustering on the lead behind her late father.

Throughout her teenage years, Lynda was introduced to the competitive side of the horse industry by her parents. Lynda worked casually as a teacher whilst training horses and running a property. She first competed in cutting at the 2009 Snafflebit Futurity. This was the start of Lynda's non-pro
career in the cutting pen.

Lynda has gone on to train horses for aged events and has had several milestone achievements such as Reserve Open Futurity Champion
in 2018, Non-Pro Classic Challenge Champion in 2018, both being three weeks after her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. She has since gone on to win many Open and Non-Pro event championships at shows through Australia and last year competed at Tayler Sheridan’s ‘Bosque Ranch’ in Texas USA to be crowned Reserve Limited Futurity Champion. Lynda has represented Australia twice in the USA as a member of the non-pro team and was inducted into the non-pro hall of fame in 2019. 

Lynda and her partner Jim sell horses through the premier performance horse sale each year, the ‘Nutrien Classic sale’. They love the unique nature of the Australian Performance Horse Industry and strive to breed and train horses that suit a number of disciplines and have just recently imported a signature mare from the USA, another of Lynda’s bucket list items. 

The family now make Walcha, NSW home where they run a cattle property and raise the next generation of Australian performance horses. Lynda trains horses in a professional capacity, accepting all prospects for the variety of cow horse disciplines. As a teacher and recently graduated Health
coach, Lynda conducts clinics and workshops incorporating principles
of health and wellbeing, mindset and horse training techniques.
