We are so super proud of our friend and coach Sharon Jarvis! 💪🫶🖤💛

So well deserved 👏

Sharon Jarvis received the OAM in recognition of her exceptional service to equestrian sport and her inspirational role as a trailblazer in para-equestrian competition.

After surviving a rare form of cancer as a child, she returned to riding and rose through the ranks to represent Australia at three Paralympic Games.

She is celebrated not only for her competitive success but also for mentoring young athletes, advocating for inclusivity, and helping shape the future of para-equestrian sport.

Paralympian Bridget Murphy calls for para-equestrian athletes to be recognised for elite skill, not just inspiration. From Paris 2024 to the upcoming World Championships beyond, she explains why authentic media representation matters for riders, horses and the sport worldwide today.
