You have been at the top of the sport for so long, but you are not sitting still, your riding keeps evolving… “I think first of all it is because of the daily training, day by day I have seven, eight, nine horses to ride, so this is training enough, and then I try always to look around, what’s happening, to improve myself also my horses. I think it is very important as a rider not to say this is the right way – each horse has his own key, his own personality, his individual way of moving, his individual character. I really try to find with each horse, the best way.”
