My dad's not a big talker.

I was always told from the hat-makers that you should have your hair up because it shows the hat more. It feels more 'done' when your hair is up.

I'm an affectionate person.

I think Facebook's dangerous. So many people I know get into trouble with Facebook ... I'd rather just pick up the phone. Or Skype.

Taking part in an Olympics on home ground is something you dream about.

Virtually everything that gets printed about me is wrong anyway, so it doesn't really matter what you say.

I don't think about the media.

I don't mind a big fascinator. I think there is more scope for artwork in a fascinator rather than a hat.

I love the sport and being competitive.

In our sport you're very lucky to find a horse of a lifetime and I found mine relatively early. He's done everything for me and I owe him the world.
