Amelia is a rising young equestrian focused on Dressage. She has trained her current mount, Springwater Chanel, from Preliminary to Elementary level and is now progressing to Medium level movements.

Amelia has represented WA at the 2022 and 2023 Australian Interschool Equestrian Championships, riding a borrowed horse in 2022 and travelling her own horse across the Nullarbor to compete in Werribee, Victoria, in 2023, where they placed 5th in the Working Hunter Led Phase. Though unable to join the 2024 State team, she aims to compete at the 2025 Nationals in Sydney.

In October 2024, Amelia was selected to represent Pony Club Australia in the Pony Club International Alliance Virtual Dressage Show, where she and Chanel placed 3rd against riders from Australia, UK, NZ, Hong Kong, Canada, and Zambia.

Amelia has been part of the Pony Club WA High Performance Squad (2022-2024) and the Equestrian WA Junior Development Squad (2023), and Reserve Squad in 2024. She has been selected for the Junior Equestrian Development Squad in 2025, and hopes to join the Junior Dressage High Performance Squad in the near future.
