Student stories

Abby Orchard

“I’m working towards a career as a Race Horse Driver in the harness industry.”

Abby Orchard has discovered a purpose and a passion through her training. She completed Certificate III Advanced Stable hand qualifications at CCG’s Gippsland Harness Training Centre and is now training to be a Driver.

“This place has changed my life. I wasn’t enjoying school and was considering leaving. The College suggested I try equine as a VET in Schools subject and while I had never been around race horses, I thought I’d give it a go. I was nervous at first but the support I was given helped me increase my confidence. The enjoyment you get working with these beautiful horses just keeps you coming back.”

Abby was awarded the inaugural Danielle Lewis Memorial Award for her commitment to study in 2015.
