Fast Facts
  • When did you first start riding?
I have rode from age 7 to 12 at a riding school. I am now 14, almost 15 and have had this pony for 2 years now. Before that, I had another pony. 
  • When did you first compete at Tops International Arena?
This will be my first time starting at Tops. This has been a dream of mine since I started riding in competitions (2017). I never dreamed that I would start here in the Light Tour Ponies. Quick and I both come from nothing and I trained him to a large extent. When we bought him, almost everyone laughed at him, because he didn't jump great and ran, 'it's not coming around the B yet' they said. I liked him and didn't care. I have to admit, I didn't even think Quick was going to jump like this. That's why I'm really looking forward to Tops, this will be our first international competition. When you see where we are coming from, I think it's really cool to start here. I come for nice rounds to learn from, mistakes I don't mind yet, they are there to learn from, I do not come for the profit.

Quick
  • Who is your favorite rider?
Marcus Ehning, when he rides, everything looks so simple. His rounds almost always look so controlled, yet he often rides the fastest times. I hope one day I can ride like him.
