Amy Maris

And our second thrilling sponsored rider is Amy Maris!

A little bit about Amy:

I’m a 19yr old aspiring dressage rider based in Surrey. I have Cystic Fibrosis, which is a serious lung condition that affects the amount of air I can breathe in due to my lungs producing thick mucus. I don’t let this stop me from riding, or from achieving my goals, but I also try to inspire others with similar conditions to follow their dreams. I had been

with Monty (Mastermind), my previous trainers PSG dressage gelding for 18 months. He took me from doing unaffiliated prelim on my first 14.1hh pony, to competing successfully at elementary, doing flying changes, canter half passes, etc. ‘Monty’ was the Canadian young rider champion in 2007, winning three golds and 1 bronze.

We had amazing success together in our competitions, including winning 6 competitions straight out with our scores being 70%. We then came 6th with our personal best score of 71.64% at our first summer regional in the Elementary in a class full of professionals last August, and the next day I went into hospital. I then received a call from BD saying that we had been given a wild card to the National Dressage Championships!

I have now a talented and up and coming 16.3hh 6yrs mare by United x Negro called Frouwke, aka Flora. I went to Holland with Rebecca Hughes to find my next horse and that¹s when I found my next superstar. Her character, lightness in the hand and temperament really grabbed me and I instantly clicked with her and her paces are impressive and her canter is spectacular. When Flora arrived, she was quite nervous, but now she’s really become so much more confident and has really begun to show her true talent. She has so far won all of her competitions, with getting 72% in her first Novice test!

I hope to qualify Flora for the Summer Regionals at Novice and then to take her up to Grand Prix. Flora and I have worked incredibly hard together, forming a secure partnership over the last 7 months, whilst trying to juggle A2 exams, University and my cystic fibrosis. We have also joined BRYDS and have been selected for the BYRDS B squad, and are looking forward to competing for the Southern team, while having training from BD coach and List 2 judge Leanne Wall. For me, being around horses and being able to ride and compete, really allows me to live a normal life whilst having Cystic Fibrosis. I am studying Equine Business at Hartpury College and my long term goal is to be the first rider with cystic fibrosis to go the Olympics and to represent GB in dressage.

Please like both my sponsored riders pages as they are both incredibly hard working and some support really goes a long way!
