How it all started...

Biography

 

I began my passion with horses at a very young age of 5 years old.  My earliest memories are of riding lessons at the renowned Hong Kong Jockey Club.  It was at Beas River where I began to learn the fundamental skills of horse riding.  As I grew older my dedication to becoming a better horse woman grew stronger.

At the age of twelve I began to concentrate on dressage.  By my fourteenth birthday I was already competing at International Pony level.  The success did not stop there, and I continued to progress onto Junior and Young Rider levels with placings in Barcelona, Brussels and Lyon.  By 2003, I reached the top of Under 21 competition by competing at the European Championships.  Whilst studying for my degree at University College London, I pursued my dressage ambitions.  In 2004, I received my Bachelor of Arts from University College London and decided to strive towards my goals. 

During my transition into Senior level, I began to train in Holland with Olympic Gold medalist Anky van Grunsven, with whom I continue to train with today.  Anky has been a huge influence on my riding and an excellent mentor to learn from.

In 2006, I made my Grand Prix debut on Jamiro, and we went on to win the Young Rider Championship title.  Later that year we made history, by being members of the first ever Hong Kong Dressage Team at the Asian Games, where we placed 7th individually and ranked 4th in the team event.

Following our success at the Asian Games, my sights were set on the 2008 Olympics with a new ride Wenckstern.  Sadly, despite gaining Olympic qualification scores from two 'O' judges, our dream was not to become a reality due to injury. 

I continue to look forward to the future, determined to become the best rider I can as well as train horses to perform to their personal best.
