Phillips had been reluctant to give up competitive riding while pregnant but ultimately decided to take a break until the baby arrived. According to The Telegraph, Phillips hopes to compete at the Badminton Horse Trials (Great Britain) in May and the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (France) in August with her sights set on the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
