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's been an absolute rollercoaster. The things I've done, I didn't even dream of doing or achieving.

I want to get up and ride my horses, do what I love doing. I don't want to be recognised.

I never set goals.

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.

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.
