My greatest equestrian achievement to date is...In July 2009 I placed second to world champion Lee Pearson in the Freestyle class at Hartbury
My main ambition while representing Team Ireland....To win a medal at the 2012 Paralympics in London
A horse I would like to own/ride is...and whyAt the moment I am riding a 12 yr old Hanoverian called Boris, he is owned by Heinrick Zieg from Somerton Equine Hospital. He has been a wonderful horse who has taught and continues to teach me lots. I really enjoy riding Boris because he is wonderfully behaved and has lovely paces
The biggest influence on my career as a rider has been....Lee Pearson. He opened my eyes to the true standard of Para Dressage. He has achieved an incredible amount in Para and able bodied competition. I would be very proud if I could say the same
My favourite sportsperson outside of equestrian sports is... 
If I wasnʼt an international rider I would like to be...I am currently doing Commerce in UCD. If I wasn't an international rider I think I would pursue a career in accounting so I can keep up my riding no matter what
When I am not competing or riding I like to spend my spare time....Spare time? Hmm, I am not used to that. I like to spend time with my friends or going to the cinema, shopping, reading, possibly cooking, definitely eating, music etc
