As a teenager, she was short-listed for the British Junior Team, and in 2009, she made her five-star debut. Georgie went on to represent Team GB in multiple Nations Cup teams, all while producing and developing outstanding young horses throughout her career.

Now with his own set up, Jesse continues to compete at the highest level and has won 21 major NZ & International Eventing titles to date.

"Point Two stands out as my airbag safety choice because it combines innovation with a deep understanding of equestrian needs The attention to detail in their design ensures not only protection but also comfort, allowing for a natural feel while riding. What truly resonates with me is the brand's commitment to rider safety—its proven technology offers peace of mind without compromising performance. The precision and reliability of the inflation mechanism, triggered by movement that signals a fall, gives me confidence that it will deploy exactly when needed.

I don't feel restricted or weighed down, which is essential when I’m focusing on my performance.
