USA TO NEW ZEALAND
Born in the United States of America, she is eligible to compete for New Zealand through her father's side of the family. She represented the US team at young riders level, and started riding for New Zealand in 2019. "I am very excited. It has been at the back of my mind for quite a few years now. I knew it was an opportunity. I rode for the US up until now because I wanted to do the young rider championships and U25 classes in the States while I could. I feel now is the right time in my career to make the change. I have a really good horse and feel we could be a good asset to the New Zealand team." (nzequestrian.org.nz, 11 Apr 2019)
