Sharon Jarvis, from Donnybrook in the South West of Western Australia is probably one of the most experienced Para-equestrian riders in the country.

When Sharon was only 7, she was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma and given only a few short months to live, but showing true grit, strength and determination, two of the traits Sharon shows without fault, she defied the odds and has gone on to become one of the most decorated Para-equestrian athletes in Australian history.

Competing at Beijing 2008, Rio 2016 and Tokyo in 2020, Sharon now has her grips firmly set on Paris in 2024. I wish Sharon all the absolute best of luck - I know she is certainly determined and no doubt will again make Australia proud!

I caught up with Sharon at Henty Dressage Championships to capture some footage for socials and cheer her on!

Enjoy a few snaps below!
