At the tender age of 23 Emma was in a very serious car accident, besides head, abdominal and leg injuries, her spinal cord was damaged and left her as a paraplegic, from the L2 vertebra. (The L2 vertebra is the second uppermost of the five (5) lumbar vertebrae toward the lower end of the spinal column, within the lower back.)

Emma's tenacious and determined personality got her back in the saddle, post her accident and took her to compete in the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games. And just next week (September 2018) Emma is taking the world stage again at the 2018 World Equestrian Games compete for Australia.The 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG) will be held in Mill Spring, North Carolina, U.S. at the Tryon International Equestrian Center, from September 11 to September 23, 2018.

An incredible story and a beautiful spirit, Emma is an outstanding woman doing great things and a truly remarkable role model.
