She says it is always nice to be the first to do something.
"Being congratulated by Prince Bandar was great. He presented me with a trophy. It was very exciting."
Lisa went on to finish second in the competition behind Hall Of Fame American rider Mike Smith and she said it was a great experience to compete against some of the best jockeys in the world.
Lisa also enjoyed riding on a dirt surface, something she hasn't done a lot of in her riding career.
"I had ridden on the dirt in Japan, but I always tended to think the dirt over there was more like sand.They have a caretaker over there (Saudi Arabia) who is from California. He has been there for six years and he has been improving it the whole time."
She says the quality of the dirt track was amazing.
"I had heard Mike Smith saying how fabulous it was and how good the horses felt on top of it. It was different riding on the dirt, but it was good."
Lisa says the racing on offer during the meeting was world class and she is looking forward to watching what unfolds with racing in Saudi Arabia in the future.
"They had horses from Japan, America, Ireland and England. All the trainers and staff who were there with the horses were raving about how good the fields were on Saturday for the international race meeting."
Racing in such a conservative nation was a new experience for Lisa and she says it took a little bit to get used to.
"It was quite confronting to see all the women having to wear an abaya, which goes over their clothes.
"For that race meeting on Friday with having women jockeys there, they had to bring two valets from America to help the girls in the jockey room because Saudi men don't touch women. It was the same with the medical team. They had a female there to help look after us in case there was an accident on the track."
While the culture difference was an eye-opener for Lisa, she had nothing but praise for race organisers and their forward thinking towards equality, inviting seven female jockeys to the competition.
"It just proves women are just as good as men. If you give us the same opportunities we are going to get the same results."
Lisa says the trip was one of the highlights of her international riding career, having been treated like royalty on the trip.
"Saudi Arabia is definitely right up there. It was an amazing experience to be a part of," she says.
"We were flown around the world in business class, stayed in a five-star hotel, and were driven everywhere in fancy cars.
"It has been like a movie-star lifestyle for a week, but we are back to reality now."
