- Who is your favourite rider and why? <\/strong>
Can’t choose one!! Ben Maher – world class rider perfection on a horse, Tabitha Kyle – she rides to win, amazing to watch in a jump off! Holly Smith – she’s one of the strongest female riders, Joe Clayton – is such a still rider looks like he could ride any horse and is so natural to watch.<\/li>- If you could ride any horse or pony in the world, who would it be? <\/strong>
Easy answer – EXPLOSION!!<\/li>- What is your favourite and least favourite food?<\/strong>
Roast dinner or chicken wraps are my fav – least favourite food is mustard and courgettes.<\/li>- Do you have anything lucky or is there anything you cannot be without on a competition day?<\/strong>
I’m not superstitious at all. You make your own luck.<\/li>- What is your least favourite horsey job?<\/strong>
Mum will tell me off but I hate mucking out \ud83d\ude06<\/li>- What is the one piece of riding kit you couldn\u2019t be without?<\/strong>
My Samshield riding hat<\/a>.<\/li>- Who do you use as your trainer?<\/strong>
Tanya Kyle is my trainer and coaches me at all the shows. Joe Clayton helps me at home.<\/li>- Do you do any other sports apart from riding?<\/strong>
YES netball, hockey, cricket, athletics and I used to do a lot of gymnastics (oh to be young enough to have all that energy!!<\/em>) but it is showjumping that takes priority now.<\/li>- What are your goals with your ponies for this year?<\/strong>
Win HOYS and get to London International Horse Show (Olympia) again.<\/li>- What do you like to do when you\u2019re not riding\/looking after your ponies?<\/strong>
To jump my Jolly Jumps with my friends and get my nails done!!<\/li>- Please can you tell us a little bit about a typical day for you in the week, fitting in school, riding and training.<\/strong>
I train three times a week, and fitting it around school is hard. I often sleep in the lorry overnight and my mum drives me at 4:00am to Leicestershire to train with Tanya Kyle before school. I will often ride or lunge one before school. I get up at 6.00am then as soon as I am home from school I will work any ponies that are left to ride. Then me, mum and dad put them to bed. Then it is homework, dinner is normally around 8:00pm and bed as soon as I can!! I do revision and homework on the way to shows in the lorry at the weekend.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nThank you so much Tabby for a glimpse into your life! All your hard work and dedication is definitely paying off. All the best for the 2023 season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
We always think it is good to get to know our riders a little more. Finding out what makes them tick, who they look up to and how they work their days. We had a catch up with 10 year old Tabby!
