RIDER PROFILE

RIDER

Name: Bridget Tinker

Nicknames: Tinka

Age: 22

Hobbies: Eventing!

When did you start riding? When I was seven years old, I sat on one of my Mums friends horses – it was love at first sight.

Why did you choose this sport/discipline? Like most kids, I started Eventing because I loved racing around the Cross Country course (I used to ride Showjuming in the same way). I started to concerntrate more on the dreaded Dressage as I got older and started enjoying that phase more as well.

Ambitions: I am aiming to get to Pre-Novice on Rhodie. Hopefully progress to 3DE’s with my next horse.

Hero/Idol: I have lots! But Sonja Johnson is probably my favourite. I remember doing a guided walk around Adelaide 4**** Cross Country with her years ago, very inspirational.
