Prue Barrett - the Olympics - and family

  Prue and Oliver

As you can imagine Prue Barrett, the National Performance Director of Australian Eventing, has been very busy for the past few months. With trips overseas to check out how potential team members were going and attending international events to watch performances her life has been pretty hectic. Then of course there was the London Olympics where everything didn’t exactly go to plan.

As soon as Prue, the ‘supermum’, touched down in Sydney she was straight back into family life, going from the airport to Cessnock to catch up with her two boys, Oliver and Jesper. Oliver was playing in the Cessnock Under 8 soccer and his mum sat on the sidelines, in her Olympic outfit, cheering on him on!

We thought we should give her a few days to settle back at home before we gave her a call to catch up. As usual Prue was delightful to speak to, happy to be home and looking forward to the next four years.
