"I watched Sienna Charles ride the jump-off before me and tried to figure out what I’d need to do to be faster.” he continues. “When my turn came, I simply went as fast as I could. We had a plan beforehand, but my mare Caracole de la Roque is so incredibly quick that you don’t really have time to think during the round. As the rider, my main job is just to keep up with her.”

Caracole de la Roque deserves al praise!

“She’s such a special horse, she gives her all in everything she does. Riding a horse like this is inspiring. She has so much self-confidence and knows exactly what she’s doing on course. She’s as eager to win as I am, maybe even more so. Every time we enter a competition we get a little better as a pair. Of course, things sometimes go wrong, but when everything falls into place, this is the result.”
