Emma was left paralysed after a road traffic accident in April 2013, yet nothing stops her passion for equestrian sport and is already planning her campaign around the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018 and the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

Emma’s attitude is the main reason she inspires so many. She’s fiercely determined and unbelievably resilient to what life has thrown at her. Emma deserves to be celebrated due to her positive attitude and commitment to being a role model to others, as well as her commitment to being an advocate for our great sport.

Join us to congratulate Emma!
