Cheese and Chocolate (we hope not together) has to be my favourite and anything offal (heart, kidneys, liver) related being the worst. - What is your favourite song?

Pass – struggling with this one. - What is your least favourite horsey job?
Clipping!! I always leave it as late as possible and try to get away with just doing it once! - Do you have a winter timesaving tip you can share with us?
Do all your haynets for the week in daylight at the weekend! Then you not battling with the wind and rain trying to do them in the dark. The trials and tribulations of haynets continue!! - Who do you use as your trainer?

William Fox-Pitt and Carl Hester for the way they come across and the way they train their horses. - If you could pick any horse (not one of your own) to do one competition on, which one and why?
Ros Canter’s Lordships Graffalo as he looks divine, any horses that can do what he did at WEG as a 10 year old is something special (hats off to Ros for making it look so easy too). - Where is your dream holiday?
