Just a few days before the CSI4*-W Longines São Paulo, I suddenly found myself standing next to my competition horse Jossete Polana – with no shared history, no real training time, but a very clear goal: to be ready when it mattered. This is exactly where my next chapter with the Global Amateur Tour Brazil 2025 began. GAT Brazil 2025 - CSI4*-W Longines São Paulo Getting to Know Jo

Moura Tours – Straight Off the Plane and Into the CSN5* Show
From April 11th to 13th, 2025, something truly special was on my calendar: my first European show of the year – the CSN5* Moura Tours in Valencia, Spain. Special? Oh yes – in more ways than one! First, because I spend the first six months of every year living and training in Cape Town – so this was the first time I had ever traveled to Spain, accompanied only by my trainer Cassidy. And second, because I hadn’t ridden my competition horse King since December 2024. Moura Tours
