Karen got her first horse, Midnight, for her 11th birthday. The Pony Club made Karen interested in eventing. Her main horse when she was younger was a Connemara named Erin's Shamrock. She did her first Three-Day Event with him at Radnor, and rode him up to the Advanced Level. Karen started competing internationally in 1979, when she was only 21 years old.
