Success Story

"Our background is in the sporting environment as professional showjumpers, which has been our life and passion from a young age.

Being professionals we had to rely on sponsorship to fund our sport and ultimately our future. When we first saw this opportunity even though we thought it was a good idea, it was never a major priority in our lives, as our sporting career was our passion and dream. This dream was taken away from us when we both qualified for the World Championships in 1998, but went as spectators, and not as competitors due to sponsors being unable to finance us. Whilst on this trip sponsors offered us the opportunity to live and campaign in Europe, which is the ultimate opportunity in a showjumper's career. We took horses with us and spent 18 months competing around Europe.

We soon came to realise that no matter how good an opportunity may seem, being sponsored still meant that our lives were controlled by someone else. We then understood that in order to compete at world level we would have to create our own financial future.

This is when we made the decision to come back to South Africa and build this business seriously. It took us two and a half years to replace both our incomes, and since then we have had the ability to design our lives, which means that every morning we wake up and decide whether we want to work or not. We initially saw this as a way to give us the financial independence to live our dream of competing independent of sponsors.

This business has provided us with time, money, and a vehicle to help other people change their lives, as well as allowing us to pursue our sporting careers." [1]
