Lifestyle

Despina, the director of Show Pony Creative, has created a business model that helps equestrian businesses to develop and grow, particularly in the digital age. So much so that Show Pony Graphics is now the leading Equestrian Creative Agency in Australia. Their services include Web Development, Branding, Graphic Design and Digital Marketing.

Despina is a degree qualified Multimedia Designer and has been designing for some of the largest equestrian companies and horse associations in Australia for over 16 years.

Despina is passionate about horses and also runs a successful pony stud from her farm in Darraweit Guim, Victoria. Her ponies have won numerous champions in hand and under saddle in the show and dressage arena.

Despina is dedicated to the development of Equestrian Business and in 2018 in conjunction with Equine Productions, she developed the Equitana Melbourne Business Awards which were a huge success, and in 2022 the Business Awards are back with a new improved format.
