Team How High

How High is owned and operated by Bec Lindwall and James Broadbent. Bec and James both compete on the NSW Eventing circuit with a team of horses from Intro to Advanced. They live on a property near Braidwood in Southern NSW. Between riding and running How High they are busy producing young stock with their Warmblood stallion (by Salute), their Thoroughbred stallion (half brother to 3*** Eventer Highland Charm who was sold to England), their Connemara Pony Stallion, and their Irish Sporthorse Stallion Highland McGuire.
