Olympics 2008

I'm BBC Radio 5 Live's equestrian reporter - which is all horse sports apart from racing.

I've been doing the job, alongside my full-time job as a CBBC Sportsround and Newsround presenter/reporter for two years - but I have been at the BBC for 13 years working in various areas.

This will be my first Summer Olympics, but during my time covering sport for the BBC I've been to lots of big events, including a Winter Olympics, two Commonwealth Games and two Champions League finals.

The equestrian events at this year's Olympics are being held in Hong Kong. It'll be the first time I've been to Hong Kong and I'm really looking forward to it.

I feel so lucky to be able to watch my heroes riding in the biggest competition in the world. I have ridden all my life and although I was never particularly talented, like most kids who ride, I loved to gallop and jump.

I still ride as often as I can but that tends to be just the occasional hack. Every week I look at the horses for sale in Horse and Hound magazine and dream of owning my own - one day!
