I chose the Cropped Tassel Boot as it's the perfect mix of urban and rural. It reminds me of a sturdy jodhpur boot and I can imagine gardening or even riding my horse George in them. Equally, I will pair them with a smarter look for work or a trip to London!

To an extent, I didn’t have a choice being born into a very horsey family with a home in the middle of a racing yard but I loved it from the word go and couldn’t wait to be old enough to be involved in the family business.

The style side is part of my job as a presenter for ITV Racing. It goes with the territory in that a day at the races is an occasion to dress up and I really enjoy doing each meeting justice by wearing something that lends itself to the meeting. It’s not always easy with the unpredictable British weather but my stylist Sarah Bryne does a brilliant job at forecasting...and dressing me.

I think finally the door has opened that bit further for women thanks to the exploits of female jockeys and trainers. If you asked anyone, even 3 years ago if they expected a female jockey to be leading rider at Cheltenham and win the Grand National in the same year, they would have said no. So Rachel has achieved a massive milestone. Personally, I think society still has some way to go, but racing is one element of this!
