Although she grew up on a ranch, Mary never rode as a child. Her first mount was at age fourteen, when she boarded a horse at Calgary Stampede Day, and subsequently took up competing in Western Canada's best horse shows (Calgary Stampede, Provost Stampede, etc.) She went on to compete internationally in dressage and eventing until she was thirty-seven years old. She has since competed at the highest levels of both equestrian competitions.
Mary now lives near Vancouver with her husband and two children.
