Who would be your dream horse to ride?

Dante Weltino was always a horse that I wanted to feel, as well as Damon Hill at the time. In this generation there is Glamourdale and all horses that Isabell Werth rides just to feel how difficult they are and what an amazing rider she is to be able to manage all those different horses.

Favourite colour horse?

Liver chestnut, like my first competition horse Don Warohn EDC. This photo is when he was 5 years old and I had just bought him.

Horsey product that you can’t live without?

Stübben Glycerine soap because it gives you grip in your saddle and to clean everything every day and my Stübben saddles.

Favourite way to relax?

Sitting in the garden and eating outside with my loved ones.

Who is your hero?

Isabell Werth and Carl Hester because they produce so many different and not ideally built horses.

Favourite horse event?

CHIO in Aachen and all the CDI’s organised in Lier (Belgium).

Beside dressage, what is another discipline that you would like to try?

I would love to ride a real big jumping competition.

If you could have five people for dinner, who would they be?

Isabell Werth and Carl Hester to talk about horses, . Patrik Kittel would also be lovely to sit and speak with because he appears to be a very open person that can talk about the struggles that we all face with horses but sometimes hidden underneath all the Instagram glitter and glamour. Monica Theodorescu and Rafael Nadal.

Favourite food?

I literally eat everything, and I love to eat. But the real Thai cuisine that I experienced in Bangkok during the Princess Cup was something I will never forget.

Favourite holiday destination?

Do horse people know the word holiday? HAHA! Maybe France because it has everything; the food, the south, the culture.
