About CSW Photography

Caroline Wardrop first hopped on a horse at the ripe age of three, but didn't get her first pony til the age of 13. She grew up through the ranks of Pony Club in Sydney's north and, due to her lack of nerve, decided to focus on dressage and hacking rather than jumping over big, scary jumps. She has successfully competed at both hacking and dressage; and is a Sydney Royal Easter Show 2006 blue ribbon winner with her horse Burren-dah Pilgrim's Gold.

After years of competition and looking at plenty of terrible photos taken by her parents she decided to pick up her own camera and started taking shots of her friends. Through her knowledge of horses she has developed an eye for competition photography and has been published in The Land, The Horse Magazine and other local papers. Caroline is available to take photos at local competitions and will regularly update her dates on this website.
