Or on ponies it has to be coming second at my first time at HOYS in the 138cm Pony Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#e0b57c\">Where is your favourite place to compete?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Olympia, the atmosphere is unbelievable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#e0b57c\">Can you run us through how you prepare for the big shows?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Firstly, for several weeks before I work on their fitness, to ensure they are fit enough and don&#8217;t fatigue over the duration of the show. I would do a grid one of the days prior to the event and I go to my trainers a few days before an important competition and ensure I have jumped a course that is similar to the type of lines and fences that are usually seen at the event. It is also important to me that both myself and my horse are understanding each other and the horse is listening to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#e0b57c\">What types of off-horse activities have you found to have helped your riding the most over the years?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I don&#8217;t have much time to do many other sports as showjumping takes up most of my time.
