Charlie Ferguson

Charlie joined Aushorse in 2023 after completing a Bachelor of Business, majoring in Marketing and Innovation and Entrepreneurship, from the University of Newcastle. Her love for horses began in childhood, leading her to compete in dressage and work holiday jobs at riding schools and her cousin’s farm. This early exposure sparked her passion for the thoroughbred industry, which only grew stronger as she took on a full-time role as a stud hand at a Hunter Valley stud farm after high school.

Throughout her university studies, she worked on spelling and pretraining farms, as well as freelancing at thoroughbred sales, allowing her to gain invaluable experience across different sectors of the industry. Growing up on the Central Coast of NSW, surrounded by animals and riding horses, Charlie has always been drawn to the agricultural industry and the thoroughbred world.

One of her favourite racing memories is watching Pride of Jenni storm home in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick. The mare’s sheer determination and the crowd’s electrifying reaction left a lasting impression on her.

With a strong passion for Digital Marketing and the thoroughbred industry, Charlie brings a fresh perspective and enthusiasm to her role at Aushorse.
