“I am very happy to receive this FEI Cavalor award for the best equine caretaker, and it means a lot to me.” ”
"The prize means a lot to all of us grooms, that we are finally starting to get a little out of the stable. ”
"Horses are my whole life. I love working with them as they challenge me on a daily basis. Everyone has their own personality, and I need to figure out how to handle each one of them. It takes time to get to know horses and it doesn’t happen in a day. Some horses are easier and some horses are harder. With some people you need two years to figure out what they like and what they don't like. "
"Everyday life will continue the same from here on. Races and such. This won't change much, even if there is a prize like this. The whole team will be very pleased that such a prize will come to our team! ”
