Sport Specific Information
When and where did you begin this sport? "I think the eventing bug probably caught me when I did my first Pony Club championship. I went when I was nine. I think the reason why eventing stuck as opposed to dressage and showjumping was the adrenaline rush."
Why this sport? "Riding has always been a massive part of my life. I have ridden for as long as I can remember, I have grown up with ponies. My mum rode when I was younger, my siblings and I all did Pony Club together."
