Sophie has kindly answered our questions! For those who don’t know, Sophie manages to combine a very demanding city job along side competing her horses. It takes a huge amount of commitment and time for this to be able to work but she manages to do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Do you have anything lucky that you will not be without on a competition day?<\/strong>
    I have to wear something blue on some part of my clothing as these have been in my cross country colours since I started.<\/li>
  2. What is your favourite and least favourite food?<\/strong>
    Favourite- lasagne and garlic bread and least favourite anything spicy! <\/li>
  3. What is your favourite song?<\/strong>
    Nina Simone – Ain’t Got No, I Got Life. <\/li>
  4. If you were starring in a film, who would you pick to play you and why?<\/strong>
    I honestly wouldn\u2019t have a clue \u2013 perhaps Worzel Gummidge as that is who I usually look like after a day at the yard!<\/li>
  5. What is your least favourite horsey job?<\/strong>
    Poo picking the fields! <\/li>
  6. Do you have a winter timesaving tip you can share with us?<\/strong>
    \u00a0Make sure, where possible, you have a great groom as for me juggling a busy full time job and competing the horses I need good support.\u00a0 Also filling haynets whenever you have time always helps save time on a busy day if you have a few spare! Those dreaded haynets raise their ugly head again!! <\/li>
  7. Who do you use as your trainer?<\/strong>
    At the moment I am focussing more on the showjumping side of horses and have been training with Barrett Watson and Michael Paveley.<\/li>
  8. What is the one piece of horsey kit you cannot be without?<\/strong>
    My yard broom \u2013 I cannot stand a messy yard so am usually surgically attached to the broom!<\/li>
  9. What is your favourite colour? \u00a0<\/strong>
    Unashamedly pink!<\/li>
  10. Which sportsperson (from any sphere) do you admire most and why?<\/strong>
    Roger Federer \u2013 committed, elegant and never shows negative emotions during a match.<\/li>
  11. If you could pick any horse (not one of your own) to do one competition on, which one and why?<\/strong>
    I think Opposition Buzz as he was always so amazing on the cross country.<\/li>
  12. Where is your dream holiday?<\/strong>
    Sorry not sure what a holiday is however if the bank manager ever stops trying to hunt me down then skiing in The Three Valleys in France please!<\/li>
  13. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?<\/strong>
    One of my mini Jack Russell’s \u2013 they live their best life sleeping either on the sofa or the bed, they come everywhere with me including the hairdressers! They have a wardrobe of amazing coats and are very well loved!<\/li>
  14. What is your favourite product stocked by Forelock and Load?<\/strong>
    Samshield hats<\/a> \u2013 I wish I could afford to have a couple more with extra sparkles!<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
