and friendly and tried their best to help me learn,
and when I started consigning I had to start using
French much more. I had to speak to the clients
on the phone in French which made me realise
how little of the language I actually knew, but
how important it was, and that's when I really
got motivated to learn. I never had time to go

What other languages do you speak?
English and Swedish. I studied German in school
and although I can't speak much of it anymore, I
understand quite a lot. I suppose I have focused
so much on French that I have forgotten most of
the German that I used to know.
Outside of racing and breeding, what is the
accomplishment you are proudest of in life?
My two children! Moa is 16 and Lillie is six. I'm
so proud to be a mother of these two and to have
raised such beautiful and intelligent children.
You are known for doing a lot of hands-on
work with the horses yourself. Why is this
important for you?
For me it's the only way to really know what is
going on with the horses and to see if they have
any problems. They will let you know if something
is wrong, but only if you are there to listen to them
