She commented to Horse Sport, “This has always been a goal of mine, so I am very happy to have achieved it. Our sport is so special because we do not have separate rankings and compete on equal ground against men, but it’s still a nice thing to be able to say I have done in my life (for one month at least!) Now the goal is to keep moving up the rankings :)”
Originally hailing from North Vancouver, BC, Foster now splits her time competing out of bases in
Langley, BC, Wellington, Florida and Antwerp, Belgium. Visit her website here.
