"I’d say it’s bringing my current competition horse up to international level in eventing. She was originally intended as a hobby horse for a mother and daughter to share, so it’s pretty incredible to see how far we’ve come together."

What motivates you?

Setting clear goals for each season really keeps me motivated. I also find a lot of inspiration in watching top-level riders like Laura Collett and Yasmin Ingham.

How do you prepare for competition?
Eventing is physically demanding for the horses, so it’s important to find a training strategy that provides enough preparation without overdoing it right before a competition. For example, I avoid scheduling a conditioning session too close to an event.
