    Why you have decided to enter the Championships?

    What are you most looking forward to about the championships?

    Everything! The atmosphere, the mucking out, the plaiting, the socialising, the evenings, the mornings, the dressage, the cross-country, the showjumping… you get the gist! There’s nothing I am not looking forward to. I’m even excited about staying in the tent under these circumstances!

    What is your must-have stay away show item?

    Walking shoes – I will spend a lot of time hand grazing my high maintenance four legged team mate!

    Do you have a secret weapon?

    Thoroughbred breeding… maybe if the cross-country is 50% longer I will get less time faults (the naughty ‘too fast’ sort).

    Tell us a fun fact about your horse:

    Digestive biscuits… they are the only way to his heart.
