“When you read a description of all the things Lizzie Bennett has had to overcome in her life, it is hard not to be filled with admiration… With Bennett’s guidance and advice to her young proteges, you sense that they will also go on to get as much out of sport as their mentor.”
Mark Taylor, The Cambridge Independent December 2018

“Think of taking on the gymnastic challenge of vaulting – and then add in doing it on horseback and being disabled.”
Sandra Perry, Saffron Walden Reporter July 2017

“Para-Vaulting: Flying in the Face of Adversity!”
Totally Horse and Pony magazine, June 2017

“Despite only being able to use one hand, the runner-up [Lizzie Bennett] had a fabulous position and rode quite beautifully in a really good rhythm – some able-bodied riders should have seen it. She had only ridden side saddle four times so this was an incredible achievement.”
Chris Bartram-Lawton, quoted in East Anglia Rider August 2017

“Lizzie Bennett, you were brilliant and so together with your horse. Amazing transitions and none of us know how you did it because we couldn’t see your aids. That is the mark of a brilliant rider. Well done!”
