I like riding. I go every time I go home, which is three or four times a term. At home I have to look after six horses. My pony is called Solitaire.

She's grey, 14 hands and she is very pretty. I think she's 17, which is old for a horse but not for a pony - my old pony that just died was 34.

I have two dogs and a cat and we are getting a budgie. At school we are allowed to keep caged pets like rabbits and guinea pigs but I don't have those sorts of animals.

I've done gymkhanas - at Christmas I came first. I've also done hunter trials, which are just like cross-country jumping.

I started riding properly when I was seven but I sat on a horse when I was little.
