Greatest achievementBeing a member of the first ever Irish Dressage Team at WEG in Rome 1998 with Accolade and representing Ireland at WEG in Jerez 2002 plus three European Championships from 1999 to 2003
Main ambitionTo build on my second championship level horse's debut, Has To Be Fun, at Windsor Europeans and improve our performance at WEG Kentucky 2010. The ultimate would be to represent Team Ireland Equestrian at the Olympics
Horse I would like to own/rideI saw Anky Van Grunsven's stallion, Painted Black, as a 4 year old in Holland before she rode hime and I really like him. I would have had him home for his charm and obvious talent if he had been within my budget - unfortunately he wasn't
Biggest influenceI think the biggest influence has been watching and learning from the world's top dressage riders and I have been privileged to learn from some of the best trainers
Favourite sportsperson outside equestrian sportPhil Taylor - 14 times World Darts Champion
If I wasn't an international rider I would like to beA journalist
I spend my sparing timeReading or relaxing and watching TV
