MEET OUR TEAM BELOW!
MANAGEMENT
HEATHER PAIX
AUSTRALIAN FEI DRESSAGE (INTER 1)
STATE SQUAD RIDER
DOB: 30/01/1997
HEIGHT: 5'10"
PERSONALITY TYPE: INTJ-A "THE ARCHITECT"
Quite the contrast to Susan, being more reserved and calculating. Heather is a logical, analytical individual with a motivated, optimistic approach to life and business endeavours. Female Architects are exceedingly rare in society, only comprising .8% of the total population. They are a special encounter indeed.
​
"Architects are proud of how much they know, and enjoy sharing the knowledge they gain. They’re confident in their mastery of their chosen subjects. They are serious and prefer to design and carry out effective plans rather than waste their time with foolish distractions like gossip. Architects are self-confident. Using their insights and logic, they push innovation through by sheer willpower. Architects constantly deconstruct and rebuild every idea and system they encounter and move through life as though it were a giant chessboard, advancing and retreating with considered intelligence. This personality type always looks for new tactics, strategies, and contingency plans. With this, they can achieve any goal they apply themselves to."

SUSAN PAIX
(RETIRED)
AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX OLYMPIC LEVEL
DOB: 02/09/1956
HEIGHT: 5'4"
PERSONALITY TYPE: ENTJ-A "THE COMMANDER"
If there's a way, she will make it happen. Susan is famous for her 'gung-ho' attitude; a motivated and unstoppable human force. Accurately claimed as an ENTJ personality, Susan craves progress and results, evidenced in her successful Equestrian career in both Eventing and Dressage.
​
"Commanders love a good challenge, big or small, and they firmly believe that given enough time and resources, they can achieve any goal. This quality makes people with the Commander personality type brilliant entrepreneurs, and their ability to think strategically and hold a long-term focus while executing each step of their plans with determination and precision makes them powerful business leaders. They are likely to push everyone else right along with them, achieving spectacular results in the process."

Never one to squander a choccy biscuit; CJ has been an integral part of Patchwork's infrastructure and property maintenance since humble beginnings.
All our fantastic new post and rail fencing has been lovingly installed by CJ and his red tractor over the years, amongst other vital improvements.
He is a real gun; hard working and has a keen eye for perfection. Where would we be, without him?!

(LOOSELY TRANSLATED)
"Hi, my name is Cluey. Apparently I am a Rhodesian x Kelpie. When I was younger I had very selective hearing; the world was far more interesting than "my Susan". For some reason she thought I would be more likely to listen if my name was yelled louder; lol, she was wrong. (The whole of Snake Valley knows my name now though, that's so exciting).
I'm a bit older now, far more obedient and and often get told that I am "the goodest boy!"
I don't really care about food much but I LOVE water! The dam is so much fun to swim through!
I also can open doors, handles or knobs. Unfortunately I haven't yet learned how to close the door behind me, probably because I'm a dog and I don't care.
I'm good at catching mice but bad at eating them. Usually I carry them outside and let them go.
Now that I'm a bit older, I don't have quite as much energy and will sit quietly by the gate to watch Susan ride her horses. She hasn't taught me how to call an ambulance yet - hopefully I don't need to learn that one.
Speaking of Susan, she had better not leave my sight or I will get very upset. She is my special person."
