AMBASSADORS

img-3Introducing Danielle Simpson, a highly esteemed member of the EquiPro NZ team, whom we've proudly supported for the past 10 years!

Looking to soon settle into a new home base in North Canterbury, Dani is the definition of an all-rounder — excelling across multiple equestrian disciplines, always beautifully presented, and never without her signature smile.
This season, you’ll spot Dani in the Dressage arena, with goals of heading to Regionals, Nationals, and HOY — and maybe sneaking in a few Show ring appearances too (old habits die hard). Plus, she’s hoping to get her young horse Fliss out to her first outings under saddle in the new year.
When it comes to her go-to products, Dani swears by the new NTR Eziwash “The OG” Spray-On Shampoo (“It’s brilliant!”) and her absolute must-have is our HSE GlassPro Coat Laminator Spray — “It’s absolutely amazing!”
We’re thrilled to have her back—expect plenty of tips and seasonal inspiration.

This year, we’re proud to welcome back Jayna Dinneen—an esteemed ambassador with us since 2018—now joined by Renai Hart, owner and operator of River Park Farm!
This season, we can’t wait to see plenty of exciting updates from this talented duo — from adorable foal spam and gorgeous young stock, to checking in with some of the handsome lads in their yard.
You’ll also catch them in the dressage ring, with both Jayna and Renai aiming to compete at Level 6. Jayna’s main ride is Wonderlust (aka Pixie), while Renai will be on Smilla (aka Mia). Jayna’s also bringing along her younger horse River Park Sacramento (aka Mintie) at Level 2.
Their go-to favourites? HSE Hot Oil and Liquid Silk — “two wonderful grooming products we use daily.”
Their best advice says it all: “Groom and use products daily — not just the day before a competition.”
We’re very much looking forward to following their journey this season!

img-5Introducing Olive Cronin, who continues with us for another season.

Hailing from Methven in Canterbury, South Island, Olive and her mum Sarah have long been devoted fans of our HSE Hot Oil and Mink Oil Gel. Their favorite competitions are Unity and Equitation classes, where they excel in the attention to detail and effort required. Over the past two seasons, they've achieved remarkable success, winning the Unity classes at the NZ AG Show and the Junior Equitation at the South Island Premier Show.

Olive is also a member of the Methven Pony Club, where she has recently started exploring dressage—a discipline they hope to pursue further in the coming season. Sarah often shares her expertise at the club, offering show kit rundowns and turnout lessons for the younger riders.

Olive has a busy season ahead, and we can't wait to follow her journey throughout 2025-2026.

img-6Introducing our new youngest member, Fern Durry!

We’re thrilled to welcome Fern to our sponsored rider team this season! Based in the Richmond area of Nelson, Fern is a dedicated young competitor in both Dressage and Showing — always supported by her lovely mum, Jane.

This winter, Fern and her pony Ataahua Enchanting (aka “Sam”) have been busy in the arena, taking home Champion titles in both the Marlborough Winter Dressage Series – Intro Pony and the Nelson Winter Series – Intro Medium Pony. Kicking off their first warm up show at Blenheim Pony Club last weekend, they came home with Champion FYR and Supreme Beginner Pony!
Fern is definitely one to watch, and we can’t wait to follow and share her journey with you this season!
Fern’s goal for the year:
"This season is all about fun, learning, and giving my best in every ride, especially working on walk to canter and a nice slow canter!"
Fern’s top tip:
“I like to put a little hairspray on top of Hoof Black, it makes my pony’s hooves super shiny and they last longer in the ring!”
We're excited to follow Fern along this season. There's sure to be some fun updates and handy tips!

Joining us this season is our newest ambassador, Kate D’Acre!

Based in Awatoto, Napier, Kate is a competitive rider who can be found on the show circuit or taking part in low-level eventing. She’s also a dedicated coach at Marekakoko Pony Club.
Her current rides include:
Royalton Front & Centre – Riding Horse and Royalton Curious George – an OTTB currently being produced for low-level eventing
Kate’s full of great tips, but one we love is:
“Wash your horse’s mane as soon as you take your plaits out to keep it in the best condition, and make sure you wash the mane and tail weekly. HSE Liquid Silk is great for tails and protecting and preventing rubs in the horses mane”.
We can’t wait to follow her journey this season and share her awesome photos, tips and tricks along the way.

We're thrilled to welcome back for another season we have the McKee family—Tylor, Rebecca, and young James Rowlands—a talented trio from the deep South Island town of Gore!

Each of these amazing riders bring their unique expertise in using our products. Tyler's favourites are the HSE Glass Coat Laminator Spray and NTR Plaiting Bands. He loves using the Laminator Spray on the tail and body—you can smell him from a mile away! And the bands? They're the best—they never break! Rebecca also has several favourites: HSE's Hot Oil, Q-Set, Patent Black, and NTR's Sculpting Stick, Quarter Marker Comb, and Sectioning Clips. She uses our Hot Oil when clipping and after washing as a spray. For the perfect markers, she wets the area, sprays Q-Set, uses the NTR Quarter Marker Comb, and sprays again.
Tylor excels in Show Jumping, Dressage, and Showing, while Rebecca shines in Dressage and Showing. James takes on Dressage, Showing, Show Jumping, and RTR.
Together, they are dedicated to schooling young horses and ponies, with James even taking on horses during school holidays. We can’t wait to share their updates, tips, and follow their journeys this season!
