In 1987, she recorded a world-record-high jump of 7 feet 8+3⁄4 inches (2.36 m). Speaking of such high jump event, she said: "You have to figure the horse either has a lot of trust, or a lot of heart, because once the wall gets over six and a half feet, it looks more like the side of a building."
In 1991, she suffered broken bones and nerve damage in her left foot as the result of a fall at a horse show. Doctors told her she would likely not ever walk normally again. The following week, she was again riding, and 10 weeks later she resumed competing. In 1992, a 1,200-pound (540 kg) horse fell on her at a show, opening a deep 12-inch (300 mm) cut on her back and breaking four of her ribs. In July 1998, she received injuries to her face as the result of a fall. She rode the next day. She has also fractured her left shoulder, and broken her collarbone twice, her arm, her wrist, and two fingers.
At the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, she won a silver medal with the U.S. jumping team (riding Alvaretto). She competed for the U.S. 2000 Olympics team in Sydney, Australia. She won a team gold medal and an individual bronze medal at the 2003 Pan American Games, and a silver medal with the U.S. team in the 2006 World Equestrian Games (riding Quervo Gold).
