Emma Jane Brown always loved horses; her passion finally took her on to show jumping. Emma was trained under the late Caroline Bradley when she was a little girl. She eventually made it to the mainstream and at the age of 20, Emma won the Ladies National Championship of Great Britain in showjumping.
Emma never looked back after her successful debut with the horse and went on to become one of the top competitors in showjumping to represent the Britain. In the year 1987 Emma Brown won the coveted Foxhunter Championship in 1987.
Emma Jane then progressed to the world famous Wembley Arena in 1989. She later on went to be the one and only female show jumper from the Great Britain to compete on the American Fall Circuit.
The immense talent Emma possessed had led her to win many laurels, unfortunately the love for horses took a different turn. Emma suddenly became allergic to horses, a symptom similar to chronic asthma if she as much as had a single horse hair on her clothing. She even lost out a chance to compete in the Olympics due to her horse allergy.
During her stint as the only showjumper, Emma Jane was selected by the international committee to represent Britain in Nations Cup competitions for a record 13 times. She was later pronounced as the highest ranked lady rider of the country and went on to represented her country as their ambassador.
