Alexis Hellyer's family background has been involved with quarter horses and appaloosas, and by the age of 13, Alexis already had a passion for dressage and was competing at medium/advanced level on one of their appaloosas!
Alexis trained her warmblood "Waca W" as a young 4 year old and took him to Grand Prix - which is an amazing accomplishment in itself, let alone for someone so young at the time.Â
Alexis excelled at the CDI-Y levels with a super highlight as a young rider being placed on the reserve list for the Frankfurt FEI Young Rider World Cup.Â
Â
Â
Fast forward to 2018 - which was a massively successful year for Alexis, as she had only just begun her partnership with the impressive young stallion - "Bluefields Floreno". They competed at Willinga Park with excellent results, winning the trifecta - the Grand Prix, the Grand Prix Freestyle and the Grand Prix Special.Â
Â
Their tour continued to Boneo Park, DJWTS and the Brisbane CDI and the beauty of their partnership reaped it's rewards, with one of the highlights of winning the Brisbane CDI3* Grand Prix Freestyle.Â
Â
With consistent scores of over 75%, they were able to qualify and represent Australia for the World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Tryon, North Carolina - an amazing achievement and experience for anyone, especially at the "ripe old age" of 29.

Since the WEG, Alexis and her partner Elliot Patterson have been campaigning quite a few quality horses, particularly in the Young Horse classes - so watch this space for some future super stars!
