Who would be your dream horse to ride?

There are so many! But I’d love to know what Glamourdale feels like under saddle.

Favourite Food?

Sushi

Juan  De Dios Ramirez Garcia

Time away from the horses you will find me...

Skiing

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

Cathrine Dufour, Taylor Swift, Rebecca Yarros, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah J. Maas
Rita Ralão Portugese international grand prix dressage rider

Favourite book series?

Fourth Wing and Throne of Glass

 

Equestrian hero?

Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour. She rides with such softness and elegance, and her partnership with Cassidy is something we should all aspire to. I remember watching her desensitize him to large scoreboards by riding him past a huge TV in her home arena. That dedication to building trust really stuck with me. Her first Grand Prix test with Bohemian is also a must-watch—she rides every movement with such tact and feel. It’s a true masterclass in preparation.
Ehren Volk dressage rider

Favourite drink?

Coffee
Burghley Horse Trials

Product that you can’t live without?

BEMER. I know it’s expensive, but I swear by it—especially the leg cuffs. I use them on all four legs before every ride to increase circulation. I literally will not ride unless my horse has been bemered first. I’d rather be late to a lesson. I’m not sponsored, but honestly, I should be!

Three favorite dressage items?

Rhoan Equestrian clothing, Kentucky Horsewear saddle pads and Kask Star Lady helmet

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

Polo! I’ve taken a few lessons and loved it. My husband is learning to ride and play, too—it’s been so fun to share this with him.
