Nina Sutherland

Nina Sutherland grew up in Northland, New Zealand, and learned to ride at a young age. At ten years old, she had her first experience working with wild ponies, assisting bestselling author and horsewoman Kelly Wilson in training a wild mare named Shyla for the Australian Brumby Challenge. Two years later, Nina participated in Kelly Wilson’s Wild Kaimanawa Workshop, where she adopted and trained a wild colt named Thunder, and also trained Allegiance, a wild seven-year-old stallion. She competed both ponies in the 2018 Kaimanawa Freedom to Friendship Challenge, achieving top results.

Nina has co-written a series of children’s novels with Kelly Wilson, inspired by these life-changing experiences. She currently resides in New Zealand’s Hawke’s Bay, where she works full-time as an equestrian at Vicki Wilson’s stables.
