My name is Pippin Nichols I am 15 years old and I am currently a student at Rosebay High School.

I have recently been selected for the Tasmanian EvA80 Interschool Eventing Team. This means I will have the opportunity to represent Tasmania at the Australian Interschool Championships run throughs Equestrian Australia in Victoria.

Eventing is a sport that combines dressage, showjumping and cross country, and I have worked really hard over the past few years training, competing and caring for my horses to reach this level.

Being selected for the Tasmanian team is a huge achievement for me, but competing at a national level also comes with significant costs including travel, accommodation, horse transport, entry fees, feed, equipment and team uniforms.

I am passionate about horses and proud to represent Tasmania in this sport. Any support, big or small, would mean a lot to me and help make this opportunity possible.
