How did you get involved in sport or what would you like to get involved with?
I got involved in sport through horse riding. This began as therapy then I began competing in dressage at RDA (Riding for the Disabled) level. Now progressing into Para Dressage and also coaching pathway through volunteering with RDA. I want to continue learning about coaching to one day perhaps being a fully qualified coach who can help others. I want to compete at a National level in Para Dressage as this is my biggest passion and drive in life. I now have a horse on loan called George to try and take my riding to the next level.
