In this instalment of our Women in Sport series, we hear from event rider Aoife Clark on her sporting inspirations, biggest goals, and proudest achievements.
She has also built up a yard and business in Oxfordshire producing, selling and competing at top level.I remember watching the Olympics late at night when I was tiny and really shouldn’t have been up. I was totally obsessed with it and I guess I might have caught the Olympic dream then!I was that typical pony-mad kid, and never really grew out of it. I wanted to ride as much as I could, and as soon as I went cross-country I loved the adrenaline rush. I caught the eventing bug and was hooked.
Women can’t compete with men in strength with horses but we have other values. Ultimately excelling in horses is down to partnership, and that does not depend on strength, but on training and feel. You cannot make a half ton of horse do something if it doesn’t want to, so I’ve never felt at a disadvantage.
