She has since married, had a baby and now represents Ireland. It will be a first 5* for her entry Feloupe with who she was 3rd in the 4*L at Millstreet last year.

Georgie who is based near Chippenham, has been a full-time rider since leaving school and with help from her mother Jo runs a yard from home. Georgie first competed in show jumping until asked to be a member of her school’s eventing team. In 2004 she was reserve for the 2004 British European Pony event team and decided to stick with eventing. Four years later she first competed at Badminton aged 19 with Running Brook and in 2009 was the only rider to complete the cross country with two horses inside the time.

In 2006 she won the Under-18 National Championships, and for two years running (2007 & 2008) was the recipient of the BE Edy Goldman trophy presented to the leading rider Under 21. After a successful 2009 season Georgie was selected for the Young Rider European Championships with Skylight, bred by FEI judge Christian Landolt, and won team gold. In 2015 she gained her best result when 12th at Burghley with Wii Limbo.

In 2018 with Halltown Harley she was the winner of the CCI3* in Millstreet and was second in the Nations Cup in America (The Plains) and in 2017 the pair won the Nations Cup three-star competition in Wiener Neustadt, in Austria – Georgie’s first Nations Cup.

She trains with Caroline Moore, Ian Woodhead and Olivia Oakley.
