WHEN I WAS BORN
My Name is Chelsea Lee Edwards, named after the English football team. I was born at Shoalhaven Memorial District Hospital in Nowra New South Wales Australia on the 05/11/1986 at 1:10am on a Wednesday; yeah I'm a Scorpio!
My parents were born in England and so were their families, so I'm mostly English, I've grown up in an English environment. I speak English and Aussie... depends what I want to say.
I started horse riding at about 9 months old. started pony club at about 2 1/2 years old, doing Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, Egg and Spoon Race, Sack Race, Trotting Races, Fancy Dress, Riding in Pairs.. and heaps of other events they had. I finished pony club in March 1995.. I was 8 going on 9 years old.
When we moved I decided to change and do Western events instead of pony club. Now to me that was a huge step, big difference between the two.. although Barrel Racing, Pole Bending and a couple of over events are Western as well, thats where they started in the Rodeos.
I started showing in Western events in 2000 I think it was now, I waited a long time from when we moved up here, because I was still learning the Western way of riding.. I'll never go back to riding in pony club etc.. Western is the best, smooth, Quarter Horses are friendly, kind and smart.. one of the smartest horses around.
Anyways I've shown in Halter, Western Pleasure, & Trail. There are heaps and heaps of other events but thats all im sticking with at the moment, I've been going on trail rides up in the mountains anyway instead of showing. Ok that is all for now.. taking up to much room on here lol.
A BIT ABOUT THE PAST
I used to live in Nowra, moved to Canberwarra Mountain about 20 minutes from Nowra, then down the road to Beaumont about 5 minutes away. In 1995 we were moving to Tasmania, but we decided to move to Tamworth 'Country Music Capital of Australia' which was 7 hours north from Nowra.
Haven't moved since.. which is good, cos it's very nice here.
