Who is your best friend ?
I'm privileged to have many! :) I consider the majority of my school friends incredibly special & they're all close to me like best friends would be. There are also one or two people I know just through the horses that I consider very close :).

hey rissa:) im moving yards but i cant seem 2 find a really nice competitive yard, i bait a horse now so i kinda want a yard that can do baiting or livery:) yeah and deffo a jumping yard* in the midrand/kyalami area:) do u know anywhere good? x
I have no idea sorry :/ I jump in a dressage arena at the moment sooo...haha. Have a look in the Horse Trader :) There are generally a couple of nice yard in there. It takes a while to find a good yard but just go driving around and see what there is to offer. You generally stumble across something :)

*~TB or WB which one is the best ~*
Depends. Just comes down to personal preference :) I prefer WB's in general...but if it's talented enough then breeding means nothing to me :)

Oh no :( so do you have to help her get better then before yu can ride her? :) how did she tear it?? (N)
Yup that's the plan :) She was on box rest for about 2 months & then went into a little paddock. After that she started hand walking & walked a little further every week, & is now starting to walk under saddle :) so hopefully she'll be back into full work by the end of the year. :) We don't actually know because she did it in the paddock, but we think she stepped into a hole & when she pulled her foot out, it tore the tendon rather badly (n).

Is missing the old mexi..... are you missing her too?.....how she going....?
She's the same horse she's always been? :P I Do miss riding her but I'm still as excited, If not more to see her everyday because she's literally my other half :) she's doing really good thanx :) she's nearly trotting sound so she's making absolutely incredible progress!! :)

How is Mexi goin? When will you ride her again? When you start riding her what will happen to Charisma? Will you still half bait her?
She's doing good thanx :) she's now started hand walking but I'll probably only be back on her in about 6 months to a year. The plan is only to half bait Charisma for the year while mexi is out & can't compete, but will see what happens towards the end of the year :)

*~What happens if you outgrow Mexi :/ Will you sell her and get another horse :) ~*
Hopefully I've stopped growing! :P haha. But I definetly never want to sell her! If I do outgrow her so much that I can't jump her, will probably look into breeding her to a good jumping stallion :)

You such an amazing rider :) How much will you charge for a lesson at Zonnehoeve :) From ( Someone at Zonnehoeve )
Awww thank you! :) <3 I haven't actually thought about teaching :P Lol. But I would be happy to help as much as I can, wherever I can :) will inbox you xx

If you had a choice Kellow or Zonenhoeve and why?
Zonnehoeve :) just personal preference :) good care, incredible facilities, I can bring in my own instructor, vet, farrier etc & build up a team with all the right people :)
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
Why dont you move to Kellow or a better stable with better care?
I personally don't like any of the other yards in the area. I'm happy where I am as my horses are well looked after and I have all the facilities I need to compete on the level I do :)
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
Will you get another horse for dressage?
I definitely want one :P Lol. But unfortunately stabling fee's don't allow for more than one horse so it's just Mexi for now :)
Oops! Sign up is required for that.
Do you miss Mexi?
I see her almost everyday? But I do miss riding her a lot & will definitely miss competing her next year. She deserves the break though :)

What is your memoral memory of horse riding and your best achievement?
Best memories would be from jumping lessons where someone has told me how proud they are of me or when I'm really happy with the way I rode. or just galloping in the field. :) most amazing ones though are when I've ridden badly or was ignorant & Mexi still tried her best & never held it against me. It's looking back at moments like those that makes me realise what an amazing horse she is. Best achievement would be winning team gold (1m) at the 2010 National Champs :) & taking Mexi 1.10's just because I brought her on, schooled her & rode her on my own as my 1st horse :)

When you older would you want to become a instructer or something else in the horse society?
Maybe :) I really want to become a Vet and work in the horse industry but still ride. Eventually move my riding career oversea's and try and make it big :) lol

If you had choice between jumping or dressage which one and why?
I love them both actually. I would KILL to be able to ride dressage on a nice horse because I love the movements and beauty that comes with it. The Jumping is amazing just because it's jumping and the reward and risk is so much greater :) I think it'll always be a case of if I jump, i would kill to ride dressage and if i rode dressage I would kill to jump! :P lol. But in the end it would be the jumping :)

What would be your favourite breed for a horse?
I've always LOVED arabians because of their tails and the way they move :)

What is the highest jump you have ever jumped?
I think about 1m40 :)

Is it true that the more you compete the better you become?
I think so :) When I compete I always have that want to win and to be better than the competition. So I think that makes you push yourself and become a better rider :)

What is your mom like?
My mother is beyond amazing :) Granted she isn't my favourite person at times like all parents :P but I don't know what I would do without her!! She's always the one who believes in me and is willing to fight for me no matter what <3

Whu is the best rider yeu kno at whu is yur age??
uuhhhh, I actually don't know hey :P Riding is a rather unfair sport so it's hard to say. But there are many awesome riders around the show ring and I honestly think that most riders who work hard and put a lot of effort into their horses deserve every win or place they get :)
