HRV Hero is proud to introduce Round 1 Ambassadors Katie West and her standardbred gelding Future Bliss; affectionately known as ‘Barry’.
Barry and Katie have achieved some tremendous feats in the partnership together, including recently competing in the Open Galloway classes at the Royal Melbourne Show, pitting Barry against some of the most formidable show horses in Australia, and holding the current Intermediate State Show Jumping Champion title in Victoria (2022 season).
Trained in cart by Katie’s late father, harness reinsman Michael Hayes, Katie considers her journey with Barry to be a tribute to her dad.
Katie and Barry’s successes across a range of equestrian pursuits, coupled with their ties to harness racing, make them the perfect choice of Hero Ambassadors.
