Within two years he began competing for the Great Britain para dressage team. He won the National Grade III Disabled Dressage title in 2006 and 2007 and also won both team and individual freestyle golds at the 2007 World Para- championships.
Selected to compete at his first Paralympic Games in 2008, Simon entered the individual freestyle test grade III and was part of the Great Britain quartet for the overall team championship.

Following his success in Beijing, Simon was named the BBC South West Disabled Sports Personality of the year for 2008.
