In order to qualify for WEG this year, Natasha has had to do a lot of competitions after sitting out for a year in 2017.
“I cannot wait to get back in front of the judges again. I’ve missed it so so much.”
Baker said riding Diva is “literally her favourite place to be in the world.”
Natasha explains that with goals of competing at the FEI World Equestrian Games™ in September, the pair have had to get their “backsides into gear pretty darn quick.”
“I’m really, really excited to get underway. I’m feeling quite confident, but slightly nervous as well."
“She was amazing. There’s just a few things that I need to polish up on before our next competition," Natasha says.
“I just feel so lucky to be able to ride such an amazing horse.”
“Hopefully it’s onwards and upwards!"
Don't miss a moment of WEG 2018! Tune into FEI TV in September for all the action.
