Gemma's quest is to reach top as senior rider

SUSSEX event rider Gemma Tattersall achieved her life-long ambition of competing at Badminton in 2007, proving that she has plenty to offer as a senior rider on the competitive evening circuit.

Now 22, Gemma completed her first season as a senior rider last year, after being successful at junior and young rider level where she represented great Britain in the European Champion ship and was a member of the young rider gold medal teams of 2005 and 2006.

She is the first to acknowledge that it is a big jump from young rider level to senior, with a steep learning curve.
