What is your sporting ambition?
A gold medal at the London 2012 Paralympic Games
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
The love of horses
What are your interests outside of sport?
Horses are my life, you can't just put them away for a week, but when I get a couple of hours I like to spend time with my friends.
In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
Usain Bolt at the Beijing 2008 Olympics - he made it look so easy! And Kelly Holmes winning her 2 gold medals in Athens - her expression when she realised she won spoke a thousand words!
What three words best describe you?
Committed. Passionate. Ambitious.
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
Ellie Simmonds
If you were a character from a film, who would you be and why?
I asked my family for some suggestions and my little brother quickly came up with: "Donkey from Shrek because you are stubborn and sometimes a bit annoying and a little bit... slow!? Easily excited over small things, too."
