Mick had never attended a competition with me, his races and competitions often crossed over which the reason he has never seen me compete. We actually had met down to horses, last year at Europeans I had his sister over the last couple years,I was a dressage rider while Gina did reining but we got on very well. Last year at world equestrian games Mick had traveled to support Gina and the rest is history

Competing Acchen was always a dream from when I first started riding, being here felt like a dream, the Schumacher family arrived Friday morning, the day of the first Grand Prix,I hadn't seen Mick all morning. While I was in the warm-up ring I noticed them standing there watching,I could tell Mick was nervous like I was at his races.

Five minutes before i was to be called ,I stood outside the warm-up arena speaking to my trainer and one of my teammates, we were busy talking away when I felt a hand on my leg,I turned to see mick with a grin on his face "Mick!" I knew he was about but seeing him calmed my nerves a bit,I lent down and gave him a huge hug"Are you nervous?" he asked "A bit "I was probably lying to myself saying just a little."All good nerves I assume ?"Gina said "When are they not ?" Then my trainer told me I was next,I gave Mick a quick kiss then I was off into the arena o as many called it the lions den.


I came out of the arena with tears in my eyes,my scored had put us into first place,probably the best results in my career.I gave a hug to my trainer,then Mick gave me a hug and kiss on the check"I am so proud of you"he said whispering into my eye.
