The 16-year-old event rider competes across three disciplines—dressage, show jumping, and cross country
A County Down teenager is aiming to follow in her Olympic heroes as she continues to scale the heights in eventing.
She said: “I’m incredibly thankful to Hughes Insurance and the Mary Peters Trust for opening up new opportunities and supporting my journey. Eventing can be a demanding sport, but the bond I share with my horse, makes every challenge worthwhile. She added: “Watching athletes thrive at the Olympics has fuelled my ambition to compete at the highest levels—European and World Championships, and ultimately the Olympics. Although balancing my studies with the unpredictable Northern Irish weather presents challenges, my love for this sport drives me forward.
She said: “Competing at such a high level at Molly’s age is a remarkable achievement, but it also brings immense challenges—balancing schoolwork with intense training, the physical and mental demands of eventing, and coping with the pressure to perform. That’s exactly what our bursary with Hughes Insurance is designed for—to support young athletes like Molly as they navigate these challenges.
