00:00I don't think I ever believed I would have this success, no, but it's always been the thing that's driven me on.
00:06I've always dreamt of going to an Olympic Games and to have had the opportunity to go to two is just unbelievable.
00:13In Tokyo we came away with a team gold medal and from that day it was let's try and go to Paris and win another.
00:20Plans don't normally come off with horses but this one has and it's been the most amazing week from start to finish.
00:27These guys to be on a team with, you couldn't want better teammates.
00:30The venue in Versailles was incredible. The stadium looking over the palace with the lakes in front of it, it was phenomenal for show jump day yesterday.
00:39But I must say for us, we obviously go cross country and we've got a six odd kilometre course to go around and we're crossing the water.
00:48The crowds were insane I must say, I mean it was packed to the rafters, hundreds of thousands of people watching us, the noise.
00:55I must say the work they did overnight when it rained so much before the cross country was incredible so they have been proper top notch.
01:03How was it to fight against the French? It was difficult right?
01:08Well they definitely made us fight yes but thankfully we came out on top, we were pretty determined.
