EVENTING & SHOW JUMPING | NORTHERN TERRITORY

My name is Miya Fleming, I am a 21yr event/ show jump rider originally from Darwin. My family and I moved to New Zealand in 2015 where I found my love for Eventing and got Olympic dreams. I have been around the world working with Olympic Event riders since I was 17. My top horse Eon and I had much success at 2* eventing and 1.30m Show jumping and were Shortlisted on the NZ Eventing Talent ID Squad. I am now based back in Australia and there is a massive story behind it. As of now I have 2 lovely horses and we have been focusing on Show Jumping, both horses at 1.15m + level with much success. Eon currently leading the Gold Series in the NT. I absolutely love my Equissage and it comes into my everyday life and it shows in how both my horses look and preform each competition!

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR EQUISSAGE?

I love how relaxed and calm it makes my horses. In all the craziness of travelling and competitions I really see them stop and relax each and every time I use the Equissage. This is so important for my horses well-being I believe.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL MAKES YOU AN ELITE ATHLETE WITHIN YOUR CHOSEN DISCIPLINE?

I feel that the amount of time and dedication I put into my horses can separate me from a lot of younger riders at my age. I’ve worked with some of the best riders in the world and know how a top yard works. I put what I’ve learnt into my everyday life, I run my small team like we are elite, I train like we have the Olympics coming up one day, I take it very seriously and I love that! I feel that if you truly have a solid routine it changes the way you preform. Incorporating my Equissage every day, makes a difference and even looking after my own body and health. I eat like an athlete, I think like one and I push myself like one. It’s something I’m very proud of myself for. – Within my chosen disciplines I have always strived for the top but always been realistic, there’s always going to be bumps in the road but I’ve never let that ruin what I want to work towards.

WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO TEAM EQUISSAGE?

Besides creating great content for Equissage on my social media pages, I believe that I can contribute to the partnership by always presenting myself and my horses in a most professional manner on the ground locally. My horses love their Equissage treatments and it shows in everything about them. I take the Equissage to shows where people can see what it takes to keep 2 of the best SJ horses in the NY in top condition and I am always happy to give advice about their treatments.
