Barastoc Junior Squad: Meet Olivia Miners

In August 2016, Barastoc launched the Barastoc Junior Squad program to riding enthusiasts aged 13 – 18 who are passionate about riding.

The Barastoc Junior Squad aims to teach, inspire and guide young equine enthusiasts. The squad program assists young riders in gaining the experience needed to support a commercial sponsorship in adulthood, if it is desired or needed, as well as provide a solid understanding of feeding their horses. Each year Barastoc welcomes 20-30 new young riders to be part of the team.

Here, we catch up with barrel racer Olivia Miners…

“My name is Olivia Miners, and I am a Barrel Racer who lives in the Snowy Mountains of NSW.

“I really like being a part of the Barastoc Junior Squad as I have gotten the chance to talk to very knowledgeable people, such as those who can help me with nutrition for my horses, and other riders that can help with my riding and horsemanship. I have also made some new friends from the Barastoc Junior Squad family.

“I have a goal to qualify and compete for the ABCRA National finals for this season, as it is my last full year as a Junior competitor. With the support from my Barastoc family I am confident that I can achieve my goal.”
