I think I thrive under pressure.

I get called 'the girl off the dancing horse.' I just laugh; I think it's really funny. It's true, isn't it? It's great we're getting that recognition.

I think we're actually the only sport that has a mix of men and women competing together. The majority of other sports are separated by gender.

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.

I remember some people after the Olympics that had no idea about horses would ask, 'Do you do that with the horse, or does the horse do it by itself?' I think the fact that you can make it look like you are doing nothing is a real talent. And it is such a massive reward at the end of it.

We think they are doing it because of malpractice concerns. They may also be under pressure rom parents to 'do something' for their children.
