Nikshar Stud was founded with the purchase of the purebred Arabian mare 'Pinnaroo Mary' in 1993. It was from there that my dream started to evolve. I aim to breed horses with type, presence, good conformation and most of all, great temperaments.

 There is no beauty in breeding an amazing horse that no one can ride or handle!

Photography has always been something I wanted to do but have never had the opportunity. Until 2004 when circumstances changed & I'm now in full swing with this hobby of mine.

I think my lifetime of experience with both my equine & animal friends in both a personal & competitive arena gives me an advantage with my photography.

It helps me to know a good shot when I see one but it also helps to prevent those awful shots that don't enhance the horse or rider's appearance or bring out the personalities of my subjects.

After contracting Meningococcal Meningitis Septicemia in 1996, I've slowly progressed around my horses. Both my lower legs were amputated, I have limited arm movement & strength, with no use or feeling in both hands & wrists, plus all my internal organs were damaged.

In 2000, I began competing in Dressage & Para Equestrian Dressage competitions with the EFA (Equestrian Federation of Australia) for able-bodied riders, & the RDAA (Riding for the Disabled Assoc. of Australia) for riders with a disability. As of 2006 I've also competed with the FEI (The Fédération Equestre Internationale)

 Since then I haven't looked back.
