Grace Bowman welcomes you

Grace Bowman is the currently the youngest member of the Australian Paralympic Equestrian Squad at just 18! 

After a horse riding accident in 2002, resulting in paraplegia, Grace continued to triumph over adversity when she literally ‘got back in the saddle’ a mere five months after the accident. 

In 2003 Grace began competing at State and National Riding for Disabled (RDA) Dressage Competitions. In 2006, she was elevated to the National Dressage Squad and was selected to represent Australia in England at a Young Rider International Competition. After competing successfully, Grace was promoted to the Paralympic Preparation Program Squad and went on to compete at the Pacific Rim Paralympic Qualifier in Canada 2006 and the World Para Dressage Championships in England 2007. Finally in September 2008 Grace achieved her dream of competing in Beijing at the Paralympic Games.

Grace is now refocusing on gaining selection for the 2010 World Equestrian Games to be held in Lexington Kentucky.
