Ooo thanks for the link that was great apart from the interviewers liking for sounding posh using the same French word twice

I love Mary's passion and enthusiasm and she was so cool with those hard questions! Her biography is fascinating but I agree with the journalist, she's a brave and crazy lady for still competing on William at 5.5 months pregnant!

Appreciated your link. I think I'll learn to love Mary after all!

I've admired Mary for decades. If she wants to ride whilst pregnant its nobody's business but hers.

Thanks for that link, interesting and I think she handled it well.

MK answered the probing questions very well. She is, indeed, a lady of substance! The iron fist in the velvet glove! What a refreshing change to hear someone put the record straight about horses and money (I mean, if you were rich before you got a horse you probably aren't now!) and as for riding at 6 month pregnant - the baby (Emily!) would probably have been more stressed by the inactivity of her mother than by the ride on a horse widely regarded as the safest in the land!
