- In an interview, when asked about the opportunity to perform with 2022 Asian Games grand prix horse Adrenaline Firfod, she replied:
When I first came to Europe I was training another horse in a stable and adrenaline was the superstar in that stable. He was the best horse in the stable and won the most everything. When I help at the stables, sometimes I take care of him, give him food or take him to the fields etc. I started trying out for the Asian Games and tried with another horse, but I didn’t have the best results with that horse. I’m in a bit of a tough spot. I was telling this story to my Danish friend, and the lady who was riding the adrenaline—Helen Meyerson, she’s an international dressage rider from Denmark—said, “Well, you know what? Why don’t you How about trying an adrenaline test?” She asked me to ride that horse. This is a very sweet story. That’s when the partnership began. “
