Start:

She began riding at age five in Oxford, England. (Athlete, 20 Aug 2021)

Reason:

"I did a lot of competing in able-bodied eventing before my accident, but didn't like the dressage part as I was much better at going fast over big fences. Then I was given a dressage horse after my arm was reconstructed and it has gone on from there. I don't compete in eventing anymore, just dressage." (Paralympicsire YouTube channel, 07 Nov 2019)

Ambition:

To win a gold medal at the Paralympic Games. (Casey Hennessy Vimeo profile, 07 Aug 2017; tamsinaddison.co.uk, 30 Oct 2020)

Philosophy:

"If I can beat cancer, I can beat anything." (Casey Hennessy Vimeo profile, 07 Aug 2017)
