Who would be your dream horse to ride?
I would love to ride Maxima Bella. I love mares and she is just an absolute freak of nature in the best way. Her ability and talent are just out of this world.
Favorite hobby?
Playing tennis
Favourite Book?
Power by Robert Green
Most treasured possession?
My FEI gold medal from NAYC.
Favourite food?
Chicken noodle soup (specifically made by my Mom).
Equestrian hero?
My boss Oded Shimoni. He is the most effective rider I have ever witnessed. He can quickly assess and deal with training issues both in the saddle and on the ground. Getting on to ride horses after he has ridden them is so cool because he is so clear with his aids you can feel exactly what he worked on.
If you could have five people to dinner, who would they be?
Isabel Werth, Robert Greene, Jeremy Clarkson, David Attenborough and Eleanor Janega
Favourite holiday destination or city break?
I love to go down to Miami. It is only about an hour from our home base in Wellington. I went to college at the University of Miami and have spots that are old favourites I love to stop by. The beach is wonderful, the food is amazing, and the energy of the city is revitalizing.
Product that you can’t live without?
Oh, tough one, there are many great products out there. My trilogy allegiance saddle is the #1. We have eight of the exact same models of saddle in different widths and lengths. It is just the most comfortable and best fitting one we have tried (shoutout to Debbie Witty our amazing saddle fitter).
Beside dressage, what is another discipline you would like to try?
I have always wanted to try cross country, specifically a very small cross-country course with a pony.
