When did I get into showjumping and why did I choose the discipline?
After 4 years of eventing I purchased a Warmblood and switched to showjumping which he was more suited to. Showjumping is just you (the rider), your horse and the course. The judges do not have a subjective opinion and the result is up to the horse and rider alone. You either jump well or you don’t. This is what I appreciate the most about jumping - you can always improve on yourself and your horses.

Sponsors
I would like to thank Prydes Easi Feed and Gala Equine for their support in my riding. It certainly helps knowing that there are companies out there that help riders like myself achieve their best.
