Tegan Lush Equestrian
Our Story
The path to becoming a professional equestrian isn’t an easy one. Having grown up in a country town, Tegan's love of horses quickly formed into a full-time commitment requiring focus and dedication to reach the highest levels. She began to form an incredible work ethic at a young age, spending countless hours training and competing to developing her team of horses in pursuit of the ultimate goal: to compete at the top level as a professional equestrian.
From Humble Beginnings
Tegan grew up in a family with a long history of horsemanship and horse training. Her mother was a jockey whilst her grandparents trained racehorses. With the speeds of racing not being Tegan’s forte, she developed an early passion for jumping.
This, combined with her family background with athletic thoroughbreds lead Tegan to focus on the sport of eventing. She grew up watching Matt Ryan and Gill Rolten win Olympic gold in eventing. The multi-disciplined aspect of the sport, truly showcasing the versatility of the horse, and skill of the rider had Tegan hooked.
