Why horses? "I started at a very early age and would have nothing to spend my money on if i didn't have them!"
Biggest horsey bug bear? "Not going to enough shows, as parents WON'T take me."
Worst horsey habit? "Riding with my stirrups far too short!"
If not horses what? "Can't imagine never having horses!"
What could you not live without? "Brushing boots! And pulled tails!"
