Mrs Palm will deliver a specialist clinic on Western Dressage, as well as a number of presentations in the general education program. She will also participate in one combined presentation in a forum style session with our other star presenters.

Mrs Palm will also treat spectators to a Western Dressage performance at the EQUITANA Australia Open Reining Championships.

Although her performance record is impressive, Palm says that her primary goal is to educate others on forming correct riding skills and building knowledge to increase the riding longevity of their horses.

Her accolades prove her success not just as an accomplished clinician but also as a competitive horsewoman. She prides herself on performances that include 34 Reserve and World Championships, 4 “Superhorse” Championships, over 50 special bridle-less exhibitions with the legendary Rugged Lark, including the 1989 World Cup and 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.

Mrs Palm spoke about her upcoming involvement with anticipation, “I so much appreciated the passion displayed for the horse. I look forward to returning to Australia this year to share my knowledge with horse enthusiasts at EQUITANA” Palm commented.

EQUITANA Australia Event Director Rod Lockwood echoed Palm’s sentiments of educating spectators to the concept of Western Dressage.

“Integrating training styles progressively into this fusion sport, which focusses on developing a true partnership, aligns well with the focus of EQUITANA Australia; an event that always aims to showcase the newest concepts across the Equine industry” He said.

EQUITANA Australia will run from 20th-23rd November at the Melbourne Showgrounds.
