A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)

Born and raised in South Australia, Megan stands confidently by her successful track record that has led her to where she is today. At 32 years of age, Megan competes as one of Australia's top riders nationally and represents Australia internationally.

Born with a passion for horses and the equestrian sport, Megan has the strong focus and discipline required to pursue the dream of all elite athletes, to win Gold for Australia.

To maintain competitiveness at the elite level, Megan has chosen to breed and train her own high performance horses. It is no coincidence that she has recently won both Melbourne and Adelaide International Three Day events with her top 4 star horse, Kirby Park Irish Jester, as he was bred and trained by Megan at Kirby Park.

In 2006, Megan and Kirby Park Irish Jester represented Australia at the 2006 World Equestrian Games as part of the very successful Bronze Medal winning Australian Team. She also competed at the Olympic Test Event held in Hong Kong in August 2007. She was one of two Australian riders selected to represent the country at this event.

Olympic Silver Medallist Beijing Olympics 2008

As a member of the Australian Eventing Team, Megan's strong performance sealed a Silver Medal win for the Team at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. She also placed 4th in the Individual competition leading the pack against approximately 70 of the world's best riders.

Megan has her sights set firmly on a Gold Medal at the 2012 Olympic Games and in the meantime will be aiming to represent Australia at the 2010 World Equestrian Games.
