DWA COMMITTEE

Stephanie Munro

Chair

I live in the Perth Hills and compete Medium level on a Warmblood called Geneva, owned by Adele Bayliss and Kevin Chalkin. I have ridden up to FEI Medium Tour with my pony Marblz (Trapalanada Brigadeer) who has taken me across the country. He has now retired from competition and is loving Working Equitation. 

My day job is as a Subsea Engineer with Woodside working on new oil and gas projects in WA. 

​This is my sixth year on the DWA Committee. I first became involved as the Pony Representative and the Junior & Young Rider Representative. Since then I have managed of DWA’s Social Media and Website, and became Chair in November 2021.

I live in West Swan and have been an active part of the Dressage community in Western Australia since 1995.  I currently have two horses in training, Intruder soon to compete at Advanced level and Abisha at PSG level.

I spent 2017 to 2019 travelling between Perth and The Netherlands,  training and competing on my horse Diede Dieni.  This was an amazing experience and certainly gave me a new perspective to competing and training dressage horses. 
Away from horses I’m a keen Ukulele player – and play regularly with Perth Northern Ukulele Group. 
​
This is my first time on the DWA committee, and I look forward to helping direct our sport in a positive manner for all.

Participant Representative

I live in Darlington and love being part of the Perth Hills and Swan Valley community, where I also keep my horse. I am currently riding prelim training novice on my beautiful mare Sari, she’s a small grey warmblood by Royal Hit out of a Irish Sport Horse mare.

For the last 8 years I have been heavily involved with two dressage clubs in WA as a committee member organising TD’s, Clinics and Competitions.  Perth Dressage Club and Brookleigh Dressage Club.  Now that I am back competing as a participant rider I feel I have a wealth of knowledge and really want to encourage and support this level.

My other passion is travel where over the last 10 years I have been so lucky to have traveled the world watching international Dressage and meeting many wonderful people and horses, Valegro being the highlight! 

I have been involved in the mining sector for the last 20 years working in Finance.  My current job is with Northern Star Resources, a very successful gold mining company in Perth. I have been with them for 10 years from the beginning, foundations and team work are very important to me.

Young Horse Representative

I have been involved with horses all my life. Beginning riding at the age of 8 at Horsemans Pony Club. In my adult years, I competed in a range of equestrian disciplines, including Dressage, Show Horse, Showjumping and Eventing, with some of the highlights including riding the talented Marcel around the WA eventing circuit, competing at Gawler 3 Day Event in Adelaide and competing on the Showjumper, Conclusion, who went on to compete at the LA Olympics. 

My professional career has always involved the training and educating of young horses. My focus for the past few years has been the development of my 3 young Bloomfield Warmbloods, which were purchased as yearlings. They are now between 4 and 7 years old, and I get great satisfaction developing their natural talent as they mature. 

I look forward to this position on the committee, as I see the development and promotion of young horses as key to the future of our sport.

Committee Member

I am delighted to have been elected to the Dressage WA committee by the membership for 2022 and beyond.

Dressage remains a passion for me both as a rider, owner and a judge and I enjoy encouraging others to get involved in the sport at all levels of skill and commitment.  Dressage is, after all, training so I believe it has much to offer in improving our enjoyment of horses and ponies of all types and talent.
​
With an extensive background in law and business, I remain active as a consultant in these areas as well as managing  a personal investment portfolio.   I hope that  my experiences in these forums will be an asset to the DWA committee going forward.
