PHR PEEPS.

Picture this: a dynamic group of riders who effortlessly blend fashion with functionality, turning stables into fashion runways. From the arena to the paddock, our PHR Peeps are on a mission to showcase that riding in style isn't just reserved for the show ring. In return for spreading the word about our brand, they score awesome discounts off Polished gear!

Get ready to be inspired, because these riders are gonna turn heads faster than Phar Lap!

    STATE: QLD

    DISCIPLINE: Showjumping. Occasionally dressage and cross country.

    HORSES: Baloo is an off the track racehorse who was very successful. I purchased him when he was 7 (in 2019) and we are now jumping up to 1.10m jump offs and 1.45m in the 6 bar. Lucifer is also an off the track thoroughbred who was not as successful. I purchased him in 2021 and he has always given 100%. We are jumping 80cm-90cm together. Finch Farm Madonna is a beautiful warmblood mare from amazing bloodlines and I look forward to getting her out this year.

    2024 GOALS: To compete in as many shows as I can - I would love to do the show run. Also to start jumping higher more consistently with Baloo and get Madonna up and competing.

    LONG TERM GOALS: Going to the Olympics would be an absolute dream and it’s a far stretch but I think I could make it there one day. Otherwise I’d love for people starting out to look up to me the same way I look up to the big showjumpers. I would love to help people just starting out and maybe someday be an instructor.

    FAVOURITE PHR ITEM: The limited edition lace shirts.

  • Gracie Stockdale

    STATE: VIC

    DISCIPLINE: I event and showjump. Currently I am competing 95cm and plan to step up to 1* in the coming year.

    HORSES: Undercover Albert wasn't very snuggly at first, but as he has come to know my mum and I he has become cuddlier. He loves butternut snap cookies from Aldi, and he also loves carrots!

    2024 GOALS: A couple of our main goals are to compete at Sydney 3-day event in 2024 as well as the Inter-schools' nationals.

    LONG TERM GOALS: As an equestrian my main goal is to be the nicest rider that I can. I will do the best for my horses; I will always put them first. As I grow up as a rider, I will maintain my level headedness and treat people how I would like to be treated.

    FAVOURITE PHR ITEM: I love all of the items because every piece you can match easily for your outing/ride. The Limited Edition Lace is divine, as well as the Divina shirt, Striped Silicone Breeches and the Bling Pony Boots. Look I really love everything!

    STATE: NSW

    DISCIPLINE: Show riding at royal/state level.

    HORSES: I have 2 show horses, a 10 year old OTTB mare (Kate) and a 4 year old welsh b mare (Joy). I have been working with Kate to create my dream show hack! In this time we have had some amazing achievements, like qualifying for our first ever SHC Grand Nationals in the open childs hack class.I have had Joy since she was 8 months old, I have done everything with her, from the first time with a bit in her mouth. She is a pony made of dreams!

    2024 GOALS: To qualify for Grand National once again, and to make my girls perfect kids ponies so anyone can hop on them and have a hoon!

    LONG TERM GOALS: I have a love for breaking and training horses so I would love to be able to move more into that.

    FAVOURITE PHR ITEM: That’s a hard one but I think I’m going to have to go with the Alexis Bea.

  • Naomi Mencev

    “I love how inclusive PHR is, and how many options there are for all sorts of people. A lot of brands tend to have the same item of clothing repeated, but it’s always so exciting seeing new releases from The Polished Horse Rider!”

    STATE: VIC

    DISCIPLINE: Dressage - novice. Showjumping - 70-80cm. Cross country - grade 3.

    HORSES: Dohni (Yondella Don Juan) is my beautiful bay dressage gelding, by the sire Don Gold. He has the most calming and loving energy, and his attitude at times makes us all laugh. Sally (Sallys Gift) is my young OTTB. She is a gorgeous chestnut mare and has lots of potential. She never touches a pole, and her dressage is coming along very nicely which makes me incredibly excited for the future!

    2024 GOALS: To get Sally more experienced with outings, and the competition environment, and to compete Dohni at the dressage championships, and qualify further!

    LONG TERM GOALS: I currently study a diploma of equitation science, and want to be working with the horses full time as a trainer.

    FAVOURITE PHR ITEM: I absolutely love the Limited Edition Lace Sleeve shirt.

    “I love that Polished is handmade in Australia, meaning that whatever is purchased is supporting an Aussie business.”

    STATE: WA

    DISCIPLINE: Showjumping mainly, but I do a bit of everything. Preliminary dressage and jumping 65cm competitively, but training 80cm rounds.

    HORSES: I own one horse, whom I rescued in 2021. He is a 15.2 bay thoroughbred who just turned 14. His name is Duke, show name Saxon King. Over the past 2 years, we have accomplished quite a bit, from where he could not jump a 10cm jump, to now doing 65-80cm.

    2024 GOALS: One goal would be to do an 80cm showjumping round, also to compete at state showjumping!

    LONG TERM GOALS: To buy an equestrian property of my own. Agisting can be difficult, especially if you want to ride regularly.

    FAVOURITE PHR ITEM: The Apricot Floral Eva show shirt.

    HORSES: My horse is called Tommy (Irish Clover Tommy). He’s an 11 yo Irish Sport Horse. He’s super talented and such a sweetheart. He’s always ready to give everything and anything a crack even if it’s a bit scary! He has the best personality on the ground and is so friendly, goofy and cuddly!

    2024 GOALS: Have fun and compete regularly, hopefully step up a level!

    LONG TERM GOALS: A huge dream of mine would be to compete in the Longines Global Champion Tour, especially in Miami and Paris!

    DISCIPLINE: Dressage & jumping small heights.

    HORSES: I have 6 horses, but my main horse is Cozmo, who I do all my events on. Cozmo has navicular so he is unable to jump higher heights but we are both happy at where we’re at.

    2024 GOALS: To have fun and stop being so hard on myself. And get our showjumping back on track since we’ve been having a view hiccups the last few competitions.

    LONG TERM GOALS: I would love to compete at an international event, obviously not on Cozmo, but that would be a dream.
