Any major injuries:

I have an impressive rap sheet of injuries to match any self respecting horse person! Nothing really major, except for a smashed collarbone around 3-4 yrs ago and a concussion when I was eventing.
|
||||||
Advice for aspiring riders:
|
Buy a horse that is really made for the job and don’t let emotion get in the way when choosing your horse. Believe you can, because you really can.
|
||||||
Most admired sportsperson:
|
Ritchie McCaw - he has that magic or X factor that is so hard to put you’re finger on. He has a mental toughness and is a true champion in every sense of the word. |
||||||
If you could invite 5 people to dinner who would it be & why:
|
Ritchie McCaw – because I have so much respect for him and he has a winning attitude,
Edward Gal – because he is a genius.
Jude Law – because he is gorgeous and he fascinates me.
Adam Sandler – because he is so funny and seems to be a really lovely guy and
George Clooney – I think that is obvious! Oh goodness there are no women in the line up!
The sixth person if I was allowed would be a photographer because no one would believe it! |
