Lou is has successfully re trained and competed her off the track horses for many years to FEI level in Show Jumping & Eventing. Lou & her fiance Will Foulkes is an EA XC course designer and builder run a commercial beef farm at their 1240 acre property with assistance from Penelope (9) & Arthur (6).

With great experience working, riding, training and competing in many different equestrian fields, this gives APH a great insight in assessing each horse and finding what it will be most suited to, and then finding a home that will best compliment each horse.
