When did you get into Showjumping and what made you choose this discipline:

I was born into a show jumping family, with my mother Paula Hamood being a well known Australian showjumping rider. I started my competition career in the hack arena, but all the while really wanting to showjump like my mum but I was always too young or too little. Showjumping has always been a passion since I was very young, I used to pretend I was a horse and canter around the coffee table jumping books!

Sponsors:

I would like to thank my sponsors that get me and my horses from show to show looking and feeling so well. Animo Italia, One Black Horse NZ, Kentucky Equine Research and of course my family at Glen Haven Park.
