What is your disipline?

Showing.

Cheshire.

Can you both tell us at what age you started riding? 

In 1973 when I was 4 years old, I ended up being put on a pony and I have been riding ever since!

Bacon Butties

What has been your top horse?

Sure Will is my horse of a life time.

I got Sure Will as a 5yr old from Country Carlow.  I was buying another horse at the time and spoke to the transporter who was bringing it back for me who mentioned he had a coloured cob for sale.  The rest as they say is history.

Tell us about your goals for the future? 

To be happy and competitive as I can be.

Have you both got any Top Tips? 

Be determined, be patient.

Do you have any rituals when you are out and about? 

I am a bundle of nerves at shows so I tend to go off and concentrate on my inner self and try to put everything in a box.

One last question; whats your favourite Rowen Barbary product? 

It's no surprise, Solution Mash!
