Pre-show routine: “I don’t like to watch too many people go, so I normally watch 10 and then sit in my motor home and watch TV. I try and keep the nerves away.”

Most embarrassing moment: “At the 2007 Maclay regionals, my horse bucked me off before I even turned to the first jump. They didn’t even finish announcing my name.”

Fun Fact: “I am the worst storyteller ever. My friends always make fun of me for it.”

Hardest Lesson: “Most of my lessons with Bob are pretty hard but during Capital Challenge, I have intense lessons with Karen Healey. She really pushes you to the limit.”
