When you get on a good horse, you just know. They are powerful, they stop quickly, they can turn in both directions, and they are fast.

I grew up riding horses since I was eight. I rode English style and competed every weekend. I had two horses, Scout and Camille, and they were my babies. It taught me a lot about responsibility and commitment. I hope horses will always be in my life.

I ride horses once in a while, but I'm no expert. I hold on for dear life.

I just love the development of horses, getting into their brains, making them more athletic and powerful, responsive, and I'm rubbish at everything else.

Horses know how to be loyal but still keep their distance.

Horses are a mirror of who you are. They're emotionally dependent on you.

You can't do the same thing every day with the horse. Because they then know the thing inside out, and they're leading you, not the other way round. You don't want them to take over. You have to be able to ride the movements and set the movements up; you don't want them starting before you are ready.

I grew up in a place where a lot of my friends had horses, so I grew up riding. But I'm not an expert.

I ride my horse at competition level.

Horses are like people - they have different personalities. They can be nice, friendly and hard-working, or awkward, difficult and lazy. If horses were people, some would be on the dole, and others would be entrepreneurs.
