Is it slightly annoying that the equestrian events are held in Hong Kong rather than Beijing?
Well, it is, I mean, you know, to us it’s probably just like normal championship three-day events where all the riders are in the same hotel and everything, so I would have preferred obviously to have had the Olympic village and everything else. They are trying to make things like the Olympic village – we’ve got our own hotel and it’s all sealed off to the public and only accredited officials can go in there – but it’s not the same. I remember going to Atlanta and my ex-partner was riding there and we went into the Olympic village with all the basketball players and the gymnasts and it was just fantastic and I will miss staying on that side of things. Whether I keep going to London so I can experience that side of it, I don’t know. It would certainly be a lot more local for you. Yeah, it would be a lot easier, it would! Your horse is called Before I Do It. What’s behind the name? It was my ex-mother-in-law and all of her horses had ‘Do It’ in their name. We had May I Do It, I May Do It
