Vaulting

I started vaulting when I was 8 years old in a small club in Scotland. In 1998 I joined the Scottish Equestrian Vaulting Team as one of their flyers.

My first international was WEG Rome 1998 - though I only watched. i first competed at CVI Saumur 1999.

In 2001 I moved club as my father started his own club - Wee County Vaulters!

In 2003 i first competed as an individual international and was selected for Great Britain in 2004.

After 2007 I had to choose to compete with team or as an Individual - so for the time being I chose individual.

In 2009 I won Britains first ever vaulting Gold Medal at the European Championships in Sweden.

My biggest achievement yet is winning the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky 2010.

Since then I have won the Europeans in 2011. I'm also very proud of winnig two European silver medals in the Pas de Deux class with Hannah.
