Isla Oxley is a 14-year-old competitive dressage rider currently in Year 9, based in Sydney and the Southern Highlands.  Enbarr (Jett) has been her partner for early two years, and together they’ve built a strong and successful partnership. He is Isla’s first proper dressage horse, a respectful schoolmaster, and has taught her valuable lessons in discipline, responsibility, and what it takes to perform at a high level.

Over the past year, Isla and Jett have achieved impressive results, including winning the Children’s class at Sydney CDI 2025, Reserve Champion titles at both Willinga Park’s Dressage by the Sea and Dressage with the Stars, as well as multiple championship wins at Youth Dressage and Hawkesbury Dressage, plus other successful championship placings. They are now moving up from Children’s FEI to the Junior class, with plans to continue with Advanced and hopefully compete in Prix St Georges within the year.

Isla trains with Dave McKinnon, with support from Robbie, and is incredibly grateful for their guidance and belief in her. She is part of the Bowral Dressage Young Rider team.  Her long-term goal is to represent Australia on the international stage—and every ride brings her closer to that dream.
