I was born in Aberdeen, Scotland and grew up in Armidale, NSW. I gave up my well paid job as an engineer to move to the US to be a cash-strapped rider I 2006. With my German husband, we have built up a successful training and sales business in Middleburg VA and Wellington FL. Over the past four years I have ridden I three Nations Cup teams for Australia, and am lucky enough to own our current Grand Prix horse, Matilda, who has developed into a lovely international jumper with success in Devon, Kentucky, HITS, Saugerites, and Wellington. We aim to take her to Europe in the summer of 2014 to see where the road takes us!
