What is your biggest pet peeve?

people that ask the same question 100 times after its been answered

So you and Aqua are my actual goals. Since you were so successful training him, I thought I'd ask you a few questions. My horse is similar to him - they're both draft-crosses. I have a 17.2hh Percheron/hackney/tb 6 y/o gelding. I want to do jumpers with him and he super scopey but he's struggling with flatwork. He has a lazy canter and huge stride. What troubles did you have with training Aqua? Do you have any tips for me? thanks x

Work on a lot of extending and collecting through the trot and canteryou just have to keep working on it, the littlest positive needs big reward!

How many animals do you own?

Scoob(dog)Ace(dog)Ollie(dog)Teddie(dog)Freddie(dog)Aquarius(horse)Listo(horse)Nikolas(horse)Prim Rose(horse)Louie(horse)Laker(pony)MacIntosh(miniature horse)Timbit(miniature horse)Prada(not mine but treated like my own)(horse)Bindi(cat)Pixie(rabbit)Peek(snake)Todd(fish)

If you had to choose out of all your horses who is the most difficult/challenging to ride?

they are all challenging in different ways. aqua is hard because he is so fast, strong headed, and thinks he knows his job a little to well sometimesnik is hard because he is so sensitive with certain thingslouie is hard because he is green and quick do to unexpected thingsprada can be tough to keep the canter forward and expressive at timesdior moves her body faster than her brainlaker had a right drift but its very manageable

How come you didn't show Nik and Aqua last summer?

i didn't show a lot because unfortunately it is very expensive to show and there was hardly any prize money. so i decided to save money through the summer and go down to florida, but with the Canadian dollar being unbelievably bad we didn't go. this summer:)

are you naturally blonde or brunette?? what's the weirdest hairstyle you've done and one you'd like to have!

my natural hair is a brown/golden colour! i dye it blonde(well high light)when i was like 5 i went to some summer camp, and once a week was “crazy hair day” and my mum gelled like 50 different little plastic zoo animals into my hair, so i was like a walking zoo... it was something... lol I'm slowly trying to grow out my hair - my hair grows awfully slow though

when was the last time you'd say you've fallen off of Aquarius? and how many times do you think you've fallen off of him since owning him

the last time I've fallen off him - I'm honestly not to sure, it has been a while. but i have fallen off him more times than i can count!

what bothers you the most?

when your driving, and someone is sitting right at your back bumper, but won't speed up, or slow down and you have to changes lanes and no matter how fast you seem to go, or how slow this biatch is still RIGHT IN THE WAY
