The 17-year-old, who has traveled to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Hungary and the United States already this year, has been back at the family home in Dixie for the two-week break.
But the Maribyrnong Sports College student’s focus is already on a number of events ahead on her busy calendar.
The first is the West Australian Pony Club Championship on October 15 and 16. The Pony Club Victoria Tetrathlon Carnival, which involves a modern pentathlon event, in Gladysdale is next on October 20 and 21.

That is followed by the Australian National Championships on March 10.
Watt has combined her relaxation and training together with familiar place.
“I have been training with the Warrnambool Swimming Club and I have been riding my own horses,” she said. “I definitely feel much more comfortable being on my own horses when I train.”
The Melbourne-based emerging pentathlon star said being back with family was an added bonus to her time away from school.
