Please look around my website and enjoy getting to know all about the sport of Eventing and whether you would like to get more involved with me and my horses.

Here are a few Questions and Answers, to help you get a picture!

When did you first learn to ride?
When I was a baby, Mummy always took me with her to do her horse, and I always would point up and ask to be put on board. I would hold onto his rug, as Mummy brought him in from the field, when I was about 18 months old.  I then used to ride all the school ponies at my Mum’s work, and tag onto all the lessons I could!!  Later, as my stickability increased, I used to get all the naughty ones to sort out!!

When did you have your first win?
I won the novice jumping league one winter at Golden Cross on my pony Woody, who was a complete star.  I was 7 years old.

If you could change something in Eventing, what would it be?
I would love never to have an injured horse, as it is so heartbreaking when you see them hurt.  The prize money is also very low - it's hard work, for so little reward.  Bad ground is also something I'd change, although so many events now work really hard to produce the best ground they can.

What has been your biggest achievement?
Two Team Gold Medals at Young Rider European Championships, plus completing both Badminton and Burghley at my first attempts.

What to date has been the highlight of your career?
Winning team gold in Sweden for the GB Young Riders.  It was a fantastic buzz as the result was so close, and we had to fight from behind.  Also, galloping through the finish at Badminton this year (2007) on Jesters Quest.  It was the most amazing feeling, as I had wanted it for so long.

Who would you like to invite to dinner (past or present)?
Brad Pitt, Robbie Williams, Ray from the X Factor 2006, and Simon Cowell (how good would that be!!!)

Who do you most admire in Eventing and why?
Mark Todd because he was able to get on any type of horse and get the best out of it.  Aslo, William Fox-Pitt is a legend, as he is SOOO relaxed, while being completely organised.

What do you do to relax?
Watch Neighbours, go out with my friends dancing, or going out for dinner (I LOVE food, especially good food!), and have a large glass of wine.

What do you like most about Eventing?
A great sense of achievement when the horses go well in all the three disciplines, especially when I have taught the horse from the very beginning of his career.

If you could be another sportsperson who would it be and why?
I would like to be someone like Ellen Whitaker who has amazing talent, but also comes from an incredibly horsey background so has a huge support team behind her.  Outside horses, although I might not want to be them, I really admire Paula Radcliffe, as she is so relentless and never gives up, Jonny Wilkinson, who is so prepared, and so cool under pressure, Lewis Hamilton (who is the same age as me), who is fantastically talented and ambitious (and I'd REALLY like to be paid as much as him!!), but has come through from an underprivileged background, and Ellen MacArthur for bravery and determination.  I guess all of these have what I admire most - the years of hard work behind them.

What makes a great event horse?
I think the main thing is to have a horse that wants to win and has a good attitude, obviously the horse has to be talented and have plenty of athletic ability.

What are your favourite horsey items and products?
I love all my Puffa clothing, all the new designs are really great (well done Tori!!); plus Equine America - I use their joint supplements, and others if I need to;  Nupafeed, which is new to me, but I swear by it already;  Carr, Day & Martin products are also really cool (especially as I don't do dirty horses!!)

What is your favourite event?
My favourite one-day event is Burnham Market, as it's early in the season, it has a great atmosphere, and it has so many different classes, so it is a worthwhile trip.  My favourite three-day has to be Badminton, just for its sheer size and prestige.

What is your favourite horse, past or present?
Jesters Quest is my favourite horse, as we have gone from 2 star to 4 star together, and I have formed a very close bond with him.  He is a complete gentleman, and anyone could handle him in the stable.  To ride, he is quirky and sensitive, but with the right approach, he will do anything for me.

Where do you see yourself in five years time?
I would love to be on the London 2012 Olympic squad - this is my dream.  To be on top of the podium would be the ultimate.  My Dad and Mum would both cry!  A good string of horses and owners behind me will also be really important.
