Following the winter break, the 23-year-old and her horse Brighton Boy have started the year in good form, finishing third and fifth in their first event at Horseworld with two double clears.

The rider, who has moved from Humberston to East Ravendale to be closer to Brighton Boy and her new foal Georgie Boy – named after her late grandad – has great belief in a horse that has had difficulties.
Brighton Boy, also known as Buzz, was deemed unrideable when Hennebery first started training with him.
After a year performing dressage, they began jumping a year ago, and just six months later competed at prestigious national festival Scope.
Hennebery is now focused on an even better year. She believes that with the help of sponsorship she can be a success.
"Brighton Boy is well and truly feeling the best he has ever felt," she said.
"My goal for the year is to aim for as many double clears as possible, at lower levels for now – British novice and discovery – and then aim to move up the levels again by the end of the year.
"Last year was the first we had jumped together, so it was a year of seeing what he could do. Now I am aiming for results.
"I would like some backing. In order to achieve my goals I feel I need some help. It could be a chance to advertise a business, and for me to promote that company all over the country."
Hennebery plans to take Brighton Boy to local hunter trials, and hopes to compete in their first one-day event this year, before attending the Showjumping Championships at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire in July.
"Buzz likes likes a variety, and I'm lucky that I have a horse like him that enjoys all three disciplines," she said.
"I was a bit worried about how he would feel about me getting on him again with his issues.
"It did take me a little longer than usual, but more so because he just wanted to get on with it. We got there in the end though, and once on board he was super.
"The more I ride him the better he is, and a lot of the time you wouldn't even know he is different.
"At Horseworld, I decided to take it steady as it was our first time out this year, but he was in top form.
"I'm over the moon with him, and he is loving jumping at the minute."
Hennebery is keen to offer advice to anyone who has a horse that is difficult to mount.
She said: "I wouldn't mind helping people with similar issues to what I had with Buzz."
