If you could get any piece of advice on training, competing, buying horses, overcoming show nerves, how to ride a movement - anything at all - from an Olympic rider, what would you ask him/her?

Post your questions below. We have a surprise for you next month! ;)

I think my question would be, "With all the stress of competitions and horse and client management, what keeps you grounded and happy doing your job and competing internationally?"
I am curious as to whether you have any superstitions or routines you do before competing - is there an order to how you get dressed or tack your horse up? Do you have a 'lucky' something that you need to have with you?
I'd ask "What is the biggest personal sacrifice you've made, to ensure you remain at the top of your chosen sport?"...
I'd ask "who's the most important member of your support crew and why?"
I would ask how they deal with show nerves and also with fear in general. Also, if I could ask a second question it would be: What do you do at a show if your horse is absolutely wild and flighty when you get there?

Is it possible to ride at your level without rolkur?

How did you narrow down which sport to put your efforts into (dressage, eventing or show jumping)? Was it based on a horse you had at the time? Or did you find horses to match your goals? Have you ever tried the other two?
How do you go about selecting your Mount? Do you raise any of your Mounts or Prospects, from youngins produced , or wait until they have been started?
How did you know what discipline you wanted to compete in? Did you win an event and build from there or did you have a suited horse?
I think I would like to know:
" What has been your inspiration to make it to the top? And by who have you been inspired??"
