Annie Lever has 28 years involvement in the equestrian industry. Initially she showed horses and ponies in conjunction with competitive dressage riding in Western Australia. In 1994 Annie moved with husband Laurie, their three children, and three showjumping horses to Europe. The first stop was the 1994 World Equestrian Games in Den Hague and then followed a three-month international circuit with the jumping horses. Settling in England the Lever family managed an equestrian event complex, running shows 5 days a week, as well as campaigning the 12 plus horse sponsored showjumping team between UK and European events for some years. A love for the culture and way of life bought Annie back to Australian shores where she and her family operate equestrian events and a performance horse training establishment at Treehaven Equestrian Centre on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.
