    Lots of sleep and lots of food.

  • What was the last CD you bought?

  • Why did you choose dressage as your discipline?

    Just because I happened to be good at it and it seemed right. At first I didn't really enjoy it and I was better than I wanted to admit. But the sport grew on me over time. I like the fact that it's always a challenge as I'm not someone who gives up easily.

  • Which euro-star breeches would you recommend to our clients?

    Scarlett – I wear them all day every day! They are unbelievably comfortable.
