Who would be your dream horse to ride?

Good question, and to be honest I wouldn’t even know. There are so many good horses out there it would be hard to choose. But I think it would have to be MSJ Freestyle ridden By Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour.

Something people don’t know about you?

Many don’t know that I used to play U16 football for the Bahrain national team, competing at two championships in Dubai and Amman, Jordan. I had to step back after an on-field injury and the challenge of balancing everything. I was also an international triathlete for two years, competing at the Arabian Championships in Bahrain, where I placed 2nd, and in Egypt, where I finished 3rd.
