Mikayla Lewis might not be known to many of us here in Australia, but she makes up an integral part of the Nathan Purdon training operation in Avalon.
The 21-year-old is the partner of Purdon and recently made the trip with him from homeland New Zealand to begin life in a new country.
So far, it’s working well as the couple starts to establish itself in Victoria, where they are joined by Group 1-winning reinsman and fellow Kiwi Stuart McDonald.
Lewis, who grew up around horses and even worked for the powerful All Stars Racing team before moving abroad, said the decision to pack up and cross the Tasman was one that had been good so far.
