Emma-Jane Brown became a top class international show-jumper following her training with the late and highly-respected Caroline Bradley. Her career moved into the ascendancy when she joined the celebrated Everest team under the tutelage of the legendary Ted and Liz Edgar. She later formed a successful sponsorship partnership with Bond International and Tina Cassan when the two riders became known as The Bond Girls.

Emma first hit the headlines in 1984 (aged 20) when she won the Ladies National Championship of Great Britain. In 1987 she won the coveted Foxhunter Championship on her world famous horse Oyster at Wembley Arena. In 1989 she became the first female show jumper from Great Britain to compete on the American Fall Circuit. During her trip she had tremendous success winning the World Cup qualifier in Washington and forming a vital part of the British Nations Cup teams in Toronto (1st), Washington (2nd) and New York (2nd).

In 1990 Emma added the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Cup to her string of titles and regained the Ladies National Championship of Great Britain in both 1995 and 1996. She was selected by the international committee to represent Great Britain in the Nations Cup a staggering 13 times and was the highest ranked female rider for many years, recognised as an esteemed ambassador for the country.
