Most admired rider(s) and why: Karen O'Connor, I love to watch her ride and compete, she continues to produce happy, confident upper level horses that love their job. Of course, Lucinda Green, how can you not admire her for everything she has done with every type of horse, she is truly a great role model and ambassador for our sport. Also Mike; he works everyday top become a better rider and Trainer, and is always thinking of what is best for his horses.

Favourite show and why: Last year I competed at Burghley and Lexington, they were my first CCI****'s, so both brilliant. But the sun shone more at Burghley!
