Maree grew up in Papua New Guinea, in a non-horsey family but always knew she wanted a life with horses.

She rode the 2008 World Young Horse Championships in Verden with her, won the 2012 Australian Grand Prix Champion's title and represented her country at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Caen. In 2021 she returned to the World Young Horse Championships in Verden with Friday, a home bred Furstenball out of Diamantina.
