I want to get up and ride my horses, do what I love doing. I don't want to be recognised.

I ride horses, I love horses, I've owned horses.

My aim and my passion is to own and breed race horses.

You know that the world is a better place when people can come up to a severely disabled person and say: 'Well done. You are an inspiration.'

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

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.

I was at the pinnacle of my career one day and the next day I was put out to pasture. I felt like a race horse with a broken leg.

I'm 10-12 years into life as an out gay man, and I'm a different person. I think there are things about my journey that might be useful to other people, and coming up with a hit record on its own doesn't seem to be enough anymore.

I've had a passion for horses since I was very young - I used to sit on the floor in front of the races on television and pretend to be a jockey - and I first began reading the racing form on the set of 'The Partridge Family.'

I frequently dream of being on these horses' backs and running across a field. And the horse and I are one.
