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

I ride my horse at competition level.

I ride my horses three to four times a week.

I rode horses since I was a kid.

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.

When I was a little boy, I rode, but I didn't own horses.

I'm used to riding horses. My father used to breed horses when I was a child. I grew up in Tipperary, in the country, and lots of people have horses there. If my parents hadn't been in the business, we would have them anyway, as pets. And my cousin Richard is a jockey.

My mum used to ride, and when she was mucking out, I always wanted to sit on a horse. And if she took me off, I'd scream my head off.

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.'
