Born and bred in the New South Wales Riverina, Bianca, like many developed a passion for horses at a very tender age.  By her mid-teens she was riding 20 kms a day after school to work at Lady Smith Feedlot under the guidance of Phil Webb.  At just 17 she won her first major title becoming Australia’s youngest ever National Pleasure Horse Futurity Champion onboard a horse called Winderaden Boomer that she had raised and trained herself.

Webb who had been involved as the head trainer at Copperwood Ranch in Australia since 1977 had returned to the Riverina after a stint in the USA where he managed Copperwood Ranches Inc. (Copperwood), and Graham “Mouse” Amos had succeeded him as the head trainer.  After a short time back in Wagga Wagga, in 1992 Webb was re-engaged by Copperwood.  Bianca had just finished school and was looking forward to a career in vet science when Webb phoned to ask her to join him training horses.  The lure of circa 100 broodmares, studs and training horses was all to appealing for a young woman passionate about horses and Bianca ditched her career plans to join Webb.  

Working along-side Guy McPhee (the son of the ‘Rodeo King’ Gary McPhee) Bianca started horses and rode out 2 year olds, together with a very young stable hand by the name of Dean “Doey” Holden who would go on to become one of the ‘best of the best’.  After the Goornong, VIC ranch was sold to celebrity John Farhnam, Bianca went on to lead the operations of Copperwood at Seymour VIC between 1998 and 2008, making many friends, travelling, and winning numerous titles in the cutting world along the way.

Copperwood was seen by many as pivotal in the development and growth of Australia’s Quarter Horse and Western Performance/ Cutting industry standing stallions like Amigo Lark, Poco Peppy Doc (by Doc O’Lena out of Salty Tulip, by Peppy San) and then 49’er Doc (by Mr. 49’er [Mr. Gunsmoke] out of Docs Skeena, by Doc Bar) and also Six Spins (out of the legendary Triple Spin).  Mares like Pacific Niner, Dickeys Taffeta, Dickey Cindy, Dickey Sandy and Sage Skippy Le formed the foundation of what was to become an outstanding broodmare band even by today’s standards. 

Fast forward, after a 15 year hiatus, a passionate Bianca together with her husband David and their 3 children have had the opportunity to embark on the arduous task of re-entering the cutting horse industry in an attempt to find new ways.  After 2 years of fine tuning, Bianca’s breeding program is founded on world-class genetics including Stylish Play Lena, Royal Blue Boon and Autumn Boon which will be bred to the next generation of stallions including the family owned stallion, Aristo Tuff (IMP)… now only time will tell.
