Belle has most recently worked with NSW breeders, trainers and owners as a Territory Manager with Hygain and Mitavite feeds in equine nutrition.

"Kia Ora's growing stallion roster is particularly exciting for me. Farnan and Prague have had a fantastic start at stud, covering quality books of mares, with their first foals hitting the ground later this year.

"Along with the recent acquisition of Captivant, another top-class 2YO colt and spectacular physical type, there's plenty to look forward to," Belle concluded.

Describing the role as having secured her' dream job', Belle is joining Kia Ora Stallions this month. Belle can be reached on +61 401 485 584.
