Primrose Sturrock, 38, hails from Drillham, QLD, and grew up on a 25,000-acre, fourth-generation mixed grazing and farming operation between St. George and Dirranbandi.
The youngest of three sisters, she attended St. George State School and later, Clayfield College in Brisbane for her secondary education. Despite achieving a high OP score, Primrose eschewed university in favour of hands-on experience.
She spent her gap year breaking horses in western QLD before working with top trainers in Texas and California, eventually finding herself training horses in Hawaii. Upon returning to Australia, she worked under renowned trainer Ian Francis before starting her own horse-breaking business in Central QLD.
Her adventurous spirit led her to diverse roles, from painting barns in Norway to living off-grid in Bulgaria, and working on motor yachts in Florida. Now, Primrose is married to Riley Sturrock, with whom she has three children—Jock (10), Arabella (8), and Hughie (6).
They manage a 12,000-acre beef cattle operation, a 5,000-head feedlot, and an earthmoving business. Primrose also runs a holistic interior design business from home. Her journey has been marked by significant moments, from the upheaval of moving from her childhood farm to the challenges of motherhood and balancing work in a male-dominated industry.
Through it all, she has remained committed to her family, her businesses, and her community, embodying resilience and adaptability.
