Why horses? "Good question, as they are a silly job/interest to have, they take up all yout time, effort, money and life style, but i wouldn't have it any other way!!!"
Biggest horsey bug bear? "The cost of running an event horse, coupled with the fact that it's so hard to make a living out of riding horses full time."
Worst horsey habit? "Looking down over my fences, must look up/where i'm going."
If not horses what? "I have my snowboard instructors qualification, so i guess that."
What could you not live without? "Horses!! (and my car, i do alot of driving round to other peoples yards to ride)"
