On Wednesday I flew to Portugal after working my horses. I was out there to shoot an advert for Visa as one of the 2012 potential athletes. I had never done anything like it before and had no idea what to expect. It was awesome! I got there to find I was put up in a 5* hotel in the middle of Lisbon (a city I am definitely going to visit in the summer). I met the various people I would be working with, from film crew to creative directors, to people from Visa itself to all sorts of other jobs no idea what! Lots of young people and really good fun. We had a really lovely dinner before deciding what I would be wearing the next day.
The following morning we left the hotel at 6.15 am and I had a really fun day working with great people, I was so well looked after and the horse I rode was the coolest Lusitano dressage stallion. I am not going to say much more about what we did except that it had nothing to do with dressage because all of it involved galloping, turning around, walking back and waiting for the next "Action!" By the time I repeated for the 20th take, my new four legged friend knew exactly what "action" meant, much to his poor owners horror! It was quite funny because the "behind the scene" interviews involved me describing dressage as control and harmony, and all we did all morning was charge (quite out of control, by the end!)
That night, after another very yummy dinner, and then I went out with all the guys from the set and a triathlete who had also being filmed. We had a great night, it was such fun going out with a complete group of strangers who I had met that day and having such a laugh on the dance-floors of some very interesting Portuguese clubs! I got home the following day in time to ride my boys, it felt weird after having been in a different world for a day. Although, unfortunately the weather there was no better than here, grey and very foggy. So that brings me right up to date! Until the next time
