Talented Australian Para-Equestrian rider, Emma Booth has continued to push the limits and strive to achieve her highest goals. Emma’s ambitions in the competition arena were put on hold in 2013, after being involved in a car accident.

“My life was turned upside completely, in an instant” explained Emma.

After readjusting her goals, Emma was able to compete at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games in the Grade III competition, with her stunning now 17-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, Mogelvangs Zidane.

Emma has now got her sights firmly on Tokyo next year. “The aim is for us is to bring home gold – but to be fair I’d still be happy with silver or bronze. And we’ll do everything in our ability to make that happen” said Emma.
