Goal: i strive to reach the point where I fullfil my outmost potential. To join the Danish senior team in the future and be part of the world elite.

Driving force: Perfectionism, It is never good enough! So far there is always something that I can do better and develop even more. Personally I have always wanted to be the best. Everything or nothing!

Strength & weakness as a rider: Mentally I am a strong rider, I learn easily and I am sensitive without being inactive. My weakness is that I sometimes want all of this too much, I am overambitious.

Trains for: I train for Jan Brink, which I started with in 2011, and since then the development has been huge and it has gone fast! Jan accomplished to develop me and my one horse Capriciella in just 4 competitions to be selected for the EC for juniors and there to win 3 medals. The perfect trainer is somebody that you completely trust, that you look up to and that you want to prove yourself to. Thereby you have the perfect chemistry and that I have with Jan.

Me and Knytkalaset

What the Knytkalas gives to me: Knytkalaset gives me great inspiration (or pressure!) from the other riders in order to develop as a rider. You get new training ideas and se several situations that could happen to you. At the same time it is good to have a profound and solid social network. And of course to have one of the best dressage trainers in the world at your side, it gives room for the best development possible.
