IN the many decades we have been Byalee Stables, we have created many firsts.
We have developed four different equestrian facilities, bred hundreds of stunning warmbloods, created amazing riders, made Grand Prix riders, schooled horses to Grand Prix, and sold much-loved soul mates.
But this is the first time that we have created a dressage judge! (Unless you count AM!)
So a HUGE congratulations to Tiffany!
Nine years ago she arrived with her mother and her daughter for her daughter's 9th birthday present: a riding lesson with AM.
It was the beginning of a whole new world, and Tiffany could never have dreamt that this weekend, she will be judging one of the arenas at Equimillions at Sydney International Equestrian Centre.
Bravo!!!

The NSW Judges' Subcommittee is happy to welcome our latest G level judge to the NSW Dressage Judges' list.
Tiffany Player, of Cessnock, has been involved with horses and the dressage community for the past nine years, spending countless hours beside the arena watching, learning and developing her understanding of the sport. She was the treasurer of Singleton Dressage Club committee for four years and says she has been privileged to pencil for many wonderful judges along the way.
"As the mother of a young rider, I have seen first hand the positive impact that encouragement and support can have on a young competitor," Tiffany explained. "This has shaped my passion for supporting the next generation of riders and contributing to their development and enjoyment of the sport."
Tiffany has a strong background in ballet, including teaching young dancers throughout the Hunter, which she says has also influenced her love of dressage. The shared principles of balance, rhythm, precision, discipline and harmony, she says, have always resonated with her.
"I am incredibly grateful to the many judges who have supported and shared their knowledge throughout my journey, particularly Ann-Maree Lourey, Nell Marshman and Julie Jones, whose guidance helped me to achieve my G Level accreditation.
"I look forward to continuing to learn and contributing to the NSW dressage community while supporting riders on their own journeys."
Welcome aboard, Tiffany!
