CHANGE OF MOUNT
In 2021 she stopped riding Dominique, the horse she intended to compete with at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, and began riding Sterngreifer, a horse lent to her by her coach Magdalena Pokorna. She felt that Dominique was not at her peak coming into the Games, so she swapped her for a horse that Pokorna had personally trained and was familiar with.
