She has just achieved coveted selection on to the World Class Development Programme, which is Lottery funded via UK Sport and seeks to identify and develop riders who have shown the potential to reach the world stage.

Amy (30), of Staplefield, said: "Being selected on to the programme, has ticked one of my boxes. This really is an exciting time for me right now, as I will be receiving tremendous support and training through the programme, which can only help me to further my career."

Amy's dressage career started when working as a rider/groom for the Danish rider Dorte Semler, who was then based in Sussex. Then with Internstional dressage rider and trainer, Kyra Kyrklund, and Richard White, her dressage riding went to another level. When Kyra let Amy ride her young stallions, it was the icing on the cake.
