I never set goals.

Winning HOYS set me up for the future and prepared me for riding in front of lots of people, but the real highlight was the London 2012 Olympics. Being able to go out in front of thousands of people, on your home ground, representing your country and winning gold medals is something I'll never be able to beat.

I started as a working pupil in a yard, mucking out and doing all the duties... and I just never gave up on my dream.

It is very rare that he makes a mistake, and I feel just privileged to have done what I have with him. There will never be another Valegro.

It's insane to have won all those things - not possible. But what I love is learning, which never stops and is nothing to do with the medals you've won.

I think it's really strange for somebody that's probably never been in the public eye. All of a sudden I was 'big time' - boom, it all just happened.
