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.
Launched now is my new Remote Coaching and Mentoring Programme. Click on the green to launch the new site. I am so excited about this!
This year I have been campaigning Fairuza, known as #WonkyHorse on social media, in Tokyo Paralympic qualifiers around Europe. We have won and been placed at many of these shows, securing the scores required to meet the Canadian Team selection criteria. Now it is time for us to dig in deep, working hard over the winter towards consolidating and improving our results for next year's run of competitions. Only with the help of my sponsors, supporters and family is this possible. To find out how you could be involved in our journey, please contact me at hopalongrider@gmail.com
I am really proud to have represented Canada at 3 Major Games including 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 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.
