Why horses? "Horses are a constant challenge and you never stop learning with them."
Biggest horsey bug bear? "Spookiness - why do things they see everyday suddenly appear as a scary monster???"
Worst horsey habit? "Buying rugs - I seem to never have enough and theres always sales on which means bargains to buy."
If not horses what? "I used to compete in gymnastics at county level up until I was 16 along with horse riding but had to make a decision as to which sport I wanted to continue as didn't have the time (or money!!!) to do both as was off to college .... horses won!"
What could you not live without? "My dog Ranger - he comes everywhere with us and loves the lorry!!!"
