TS: I currently do not own any of my own horses, but some of my favourites I have ridden or owned are Ludwigs Folly, a 17-year-old Westphalian warmblood. HS: Tell us about some of your top horses. Rewatching that video has made me come to realize that riding is what truly makes me happy. TS: I remember very well making that video! It was a montage of funny and happy moments in my life which coincidentally all revolved around riding. HS: Your trailer that is pinned on your account is a montage of various aspects of your life. All of this hasn’t just been due to my social media following, but it definitely has been a major player in getting my name out there and creating opportunities for me. From growing up in a small farm town outside of the city in Canada to showing in huge venues such as WEF is mind-boggling to me. TS: The part that surprised me the most is the fact that people actually cared and were interested about me and my life. HS: What has surprised you about the success of your TikTok videos? I now think of my social media as a business opportunity, which hopefully it will eventually turn into. TS: At first it was the adrenaline rush of my videos blowing up, but as you rise above that state of mind it more turned into a business mindset for me. HS: What is it about social media that you find so appealing? I find most of my music on my FYP (For You page) or just music I have been listening to. I just see what is trending and follow the trends and the odd time I will try to create my own. TS: Honestly, I do not have a real inspiration. HS: What is the inspiration behind your videos? “Good things come to people who work hard and show kindness.”
