People still text me to say that there is something about me in the paper, and what really annoys me is that if it's nasty, I then have to go and have a look, even though actually I don't want to know.

You cannot make horses 'safe.

I don't think I'll still be riding at 40. There are a couple of people who are still riding after having kids, like Mary King, but people say that you lose your nerve after you have kids. It's the risk.

I'm not trying to succeed for the people who are waiting for me to fail. I'm doing it for myself. I'm one for the 'You only live once so you should do as much as you can' sort of thing.

The horses are all characters, all personalities. Some you get along with, some you don't, some might take a bit longer.

I'd love to have kids, but not at the moment.

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