Welcome to my website. Enjoy your visit!
I am a Canadian Para-Equestrian Paralympic Team member and dressage rider with Rheumatoid Arthritis, based in the UK. I am also a successful able bodied dressage rider and qualified riding coach. Launching soon is my new Remote Coaching and Mentoring Programme. I am so excited about this! To be in the loop for when this goes live, please join my Community group.
This year I campaigned Morgan Equine's incredible PRE stallion Bailaor XXXIII for the World Equestrian Games in Tryon, USA. We were selected for the team and putting in our best performance, finishing 11th and 12th in the World. Bailaor XXXIII was the highest scoring registered Iberian horse of the whole Para competition, across all the Grades.
#WonkyHorse, posh name Fairuza, my younger horse has also been busy starting her dressage and International Para career. She is a superstar in the making, achieving 1st and 2nd finishes in her first international 3* show this summer and an international average of over 70.2%!
I am really proud to have represented Canada at the Rio Paralympics (my Rio story is in a tab at the top) and to have battled it out for 4th individually at the World Equestrian Games 2014 in Normandy. It is wonderful to be part of the Canadian government's AAP program again as a fully carded athlete.
I am honoured to have the role of Patron of Sport at Willoughby School, Bourne and to have won the Lincolnshire Sport Disabled Athlete of the Year award 2014. I also won the TSM Ltd Sponsored Rider of the Year Award for the British Equestrian Trade Association 2015. Big thank you to my wonderful sponsors who put me forward for the award.
Catch up with me on social media as https://www.facebook.com/BertSheffieldParaEquestrianRider and also on the Facebook groups I run Gelderlander Horses UK and Dressage Training in Lincolnshire.
There is a bunch of exciting stuff happening that I can't waiting to tell you all about!
