Hi Everyone,

I was born on March 29th, 1974 in Sydney, Australia.I have been riding for more than 30 years. I had alot of success in Australia winning the Australian young rider championships in 1995. Although my family background is not related to horses it became a natural part of my life to be involved every day with horses. In 1998 I decided to come to Europe to compete against the best riders in the World.

In 2006 my career took off by becoming the first female in the history of Australia to quality for the final of the world championships in Aachen finishing 4th. After this I have achieved many Grand Prix Wins including Brussels, Valkenswaard, London, Zurich & Cannes just to name a few. I was part of the Australian team in Jerez, Aachen & Kentucky World Championships and I rode in the Beijing Olympics finishing up 9th overall individually and team 7th. 

Since the end of 2009 I am the highest ranked Female showjumping rider in the World. I live with my long time partner Jan Tops who I will marry later this year. In the beginning of 2011 I signed a multi year contract with the famous fashion house Gucci. I will continue to compete in the Global Champions Tour and prepare for the London Olympics in 2012.
