“The Day I Decided to Rise Again”

There was a moment — quiet, unremarkable, easy to miss —
when I chose to stop surviving and start rebuilding.

After illness took so much from me, I felt like a ghost inside my own body.
Weakened. Heavier. Unsure.
My confidence slipped through my fingers like loose reins in a storm.

But one day I woke up and whispered to myself,
“Not like this. Not anymore.”

At TeamWork Dressage, in the calm guidance of Jules’ voice,
I began the slow work of rising.
Of losing weight, regaining strength, rebuilding trust in my body…
and remembering that I am still a trainer, a coach, and a rider.

I am still an athlete.
And I am coming back stronger.






Every ride is a promise to myself:
I’m not done climbing.
And I’m lucky to climb with a team behind me—
for fueling the foundation,
for nourishing my athletes,
for shaping every stride.
for helping my horses recover in comfort,
for keeping us balanced and dancing.
for keeping my athletes feet in good shape
for helping my athletes feet stay healthy

Congratulations on your new appointment Sophie!

Sophie Christiansen CBE has been elected to the ParalympicsGB board where she will help the organisation continue to champion change.

“I have used my platform as a gold medallist to become a disability advocate, just as ParalympicsGB is championing change for disabled people across the UK, so to help keep pushing those boundaries is a great honour,” said Sophie.

This year has been quite a journey filled with numerous changes. I've experienced my fair share of highs and lows, but amidst it all, I've forged many new friendships and connections.

My trainer and friend, Jules Anderson, along with Libby Anderson, have stood by me through both the ups and downs.

I've kept a low profile for much of this year, as I faced health challenges last year that I thought I had overcome, only to discover there were more hurdles to navigate.

I'm looking forward to stepping into the show ring in March with my incredible horse, Nico. During this time, I've begun collaborating with two fantastic individuals—one, Sidney Snow, is already graded and will be moving here soon, and the other is someone I’ve decided to co-own a horse with. I’m filled with excitement for what 2025 holds and am grateful to everyone who has supported me through this journey. We are finally nearing the end of these challenges, and I feel truly honored and humbled by the wonderful people in my life, both new and old.

Jules and I are looking forward to helping both these new riders achieve their goals and dreams. Will see everyone soon in the ring!
