I've had dreams - there were three things I wanted to do during my career. I did them during my first year of Grand Prix.

My parents don't have a lot of money, and it was only when my mum's mum died that we could buy Fernandez, my first grand prix horse.

I've had so many letters from people saying I've inspired them to take up riding, and that's an amazing feeling.

For me, I wouldn't mind if I never did another Olympics; nothing can beat London. The setting, the support, the military people. From start to finish, it was such fun. I had the most amazing time.

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

My mum used to ride, and when she was mucking out, I always wanted to sit on a horse. And if she took me off, I'd scream my head off.
