What do you enjoy most about show jumping? ??I really enjoy going to a good show and meeting some familiar and friendly faces, and hopefully getting some results of course.

Favourite Mackey product and why? ??I love the Mackey coolers! They are such nice Quality and warm. The horses are always cosy and look very smart in them.

Do you have any advice for a budding show jumper? ??Preparation is key to success, but showjumping is tough so you must take the good days with the bad days.

Do you ever get nervous? ??I don?t anymore. I used to but you get used to it eventually. There are always a few special days that get the nerves going though.

Other hobbies / interests? ??I like a lot of things such as Art, Music, swimming, bowling and going to the cinema.
