GRAPHIC DESIGN
He has worked as a graphic designer, and in 2012 he was selected by the International Equestrian Federation [FEI] as the winner of a competition to design pictograms that would represent each of the equestrian disciplines governed by the FEI. He also paints as a hobby, and has sold his prints online. "I think I have my own style a little bit, but I like to have it quite clean and a bit bold. Once you're into it then it's relaxing in a way because you're working and really focused on one thing, and then you can relax the other things. But that's why it doesn't really work to do it when you're on the level I am now competing." (chronofhorse.com, 30 Dec 2021; olympics.com, 15 Aug 2021; inside.fei.org, 08 Nov 2012)
BOOK
In 2022 his memoir 'Six Feet Above: Jumping to the Top' was published. "A memoir such as this seems like something someone might do when they are at an endpoint, but I feel as though there is much more to come in my career. It was enjoyable to look back. In equestrian we are always looking forward – the next competition, the next horse. It was nice to sit down and think about all those people and moments. I'm glad that my greatest success has come later in my life. I had quite a late jumping career and only started to become successful at around 40." (fei.org, 05 Dec 2022) |
