General
CROSS COUNTRY PASSION
He says his favourite discipline is cross country. "I love the adrenaline it provides. For me, I event because I love all the training and the changes the horses go through as you work with them. I appreciate the demands on the horses and how they work for you. The training and schooling and flat work are so needed to produce good all-round results. For me, there is nothing better than the feeling of jumping a good cross country round and each jump hoping that all is going well. Adrenaline for the cross, yes that is what I adore."
