“You’ll be wanting to know what I had for breakfast next!”
Q- How long have you been riding?
A- Since I was about 5 years old, with a little break when I was a teenager! Then one day I decided to go on a riding holiday in France and had such a great time I came back and bought a horse!
Q- When did you join ESRC?
A- I only officially joined this year, but have been doing things for the club for 2 years. I create dressage to music (Diamond Freestyles) and was providing the music for musical poles/jumps.
Q- Who inspires you in the equine world?
A- This might sound a bit cheesy but it’s people in Riding Clubs! I think they’re some of the bravest riders out there. We don’t have the most expensive horses/ponies and a lot of the time we are terrified (at least I am!) but we go out and do it anyway because we love it!
Q- What’s your favourite horse discipline?
A- I prefer doing Dressage myself….if you have seen the results on facebook of the last jumping clinic I did you will see why! I get a real sense of achievement doing dressage, where as with XC or SJ i’m just happy to be alive at the end of it! I do love watching others do Eventing!
Q- If you could own any horse past or present who would it be?
A- I loved Milton as a kid, but he would have to learn a different discipline!
Q- What’s your silliest horse related injury?
A- I once blew a raspberry on the end of my horses nose and he bit me…seemed fair enough in hindsight!
Q- TB or Cob?
A- I do like both, but probably a TB as Cobs always buck me off!
Q- HOYS or Olympia?
A- Tough choice…but HOYS-it’s closer!
Q- Mare or Gelding?
A- My gelding is way more chilled than any mare I have had!
Q- What’s your horsey pet hate?
A- Probably a bit cheesy again but people not being supportive of each other.
