Dressage
Rider Bio
Lucy Cochrane is a 21 year old professional dressage rider based between Australia and New Zealand. Her current top horse is the striking 14 year old Gymnastik Star/Anamour gelding, Gymanji, who Lucy has produced through to CDI Grand Prix level. Having represented New Zealand on multiple team and individual occasions, Lucy strives to continue her growth as an international dressage rider and trainer.
Career
Lucy’s career so far has been very exciting. Coming from an eventing and showing background before making the full-time switch to dressage, she’s privileged to have faced many great opportunities. In more recent times, she has spent the last 18 months riding full time for a well known performance barn. In her role of producing and competing young horses and stallions, she had great success all over Australia with wins and placings to a national and International level. She has also produced Gymanji from a trekking horse though to a competitive Grand Prix horse, campaigning him on the CDI circuit at u25 level.
