Emma Jane Brown is smitten by an addiction that has worked wonders for her, one after the other

Show-jumping has always had an attraction for Emma, who went at it with the passion of someone addicted to sport. She got trained with late Caroline Bradley and later became top class international competitor under the tutorage of the Everest brand with Ted and Liz Edgar. She formed sponsorship partnerships with Tina Cassan and Bond International and at the age of 20 won the Ladies National Championship of Great Britain. That began another kind of addiction for her; it was then a craze to win that now overtook her. She went on winning laurels- the Foxhunter Championship in 1987, the Queen Elizabeth II Cup, the Ladies National Championship of Great Britain back to back in 1995 and 1996 etc. Emma Jane was selected by the international committee to represent Britain in Nations Cup competitions a total of 13 times. She was also the highest ranked lady rider for many years. Anyhow she retired from active show jumping when she turned allergic to horses.

The addiction that she has had for sports hasn't subsided. She gives vent to the passion in another way- as a Colour Commentator on television for Sky Sports and Eurosport and also by writing for a number of magazines in Warwickshire.

Emma Jane Brown could touch the pinnacles of success, only because of her passion, which was nothing short of an addiction of sorts.
