'I'd love to meet Leonardo da Vinci, the most talented man who ever lived'

What advice would you give your ten-year-old self?
Pay attention in school!

You suffered some serious injuries in a fall in Perth in January. When are you likely to be back in action?
I broke some bones in my neck and I needed to have an operation to fuse them together, but I've seen the surgeon recently and I’m confident I can make a return in January.

You were out for a long time last year after damaging your spleen and some ribs in another fall - are you tempted to give it up and find something safer to do?
If I gave up riding it would be due to the hardship of maintaining weight and fitness, which fortunately I've been able to keep on top of down here. As long as I'm able, I’ll always ride horses on the track or off.
