With a lifelong passion for the Thoroughbred Racing Industry, Donna began her apprenticeship in 1981, becoming the first female apprentice in the Hunter Valley, NSW, based at Newcastle Broadmeadow Racecourse. Her dedication to the industry took her to England at just 17, where she completed her British Horse Masters and Stud Management course.

Donna’s love for ex-racehorses and her deep admiration for the life-changing work of the KIDS Foundation made joining Tour d’Horse an easy decision. The opportunity to support both causes—finding good homes for retired racehorses and helping children affected by trauma—felt like a perfect fit.

Every time she reads about the KIDS Foundation, it moves her to tears, as did her first conversation with Susie. Donna is proud to contribute, even in a small way, and looks forward to getting back in the saddle for such a meaningful cause.
