10 Things You Didn't Know About Kevin & Emma McNab
Since relocating to the UK in 2012 from their native Australia, event riders, Kevin and Emma McNab, have become regulars on the European eventing circuit.
The Robinson Animal Healthcare sponsored riders have a strong team of 4* event horses as well as some talented youngsters that are rising through the ranks, based at their beautiful yard in Surrey.
Here we find out 10 things that you might not know about the McNab Eventing duo.
1. Emma's first job was as a working pupil for Kelecyn Eventing which is also now based in the UK. Kevin began his career as a working pupil for Italian event rider, Tony Manca.
2. Both Kevin and Emma started riding at an early age, with Emma having memories of being led around on a little pony at the tender age of two.
3. Kevin and Emma first met at a cross-country clinic in Australia.
4. Emma's first pony was called Star Pony and Kevin's was called Lecky.
5. Kevin proposed to Emma on a romantic weekend away in Biarritz, which she describes as perfect.
6. When they get some rare time off, they enjoy going out for dinner followed by a trip to the cinema
7. Although neither Kevin or Emma are particularly superstitious, they both like to compete with their own jumping whip, which they insist on using.
8. Luhmuhlen is their favourite event and is always top of the list for their entries every year. Emma says that everything about the event is great – the course, going, weather and people.
9. When living away from home in the lorry, Emma can't live without fresh milk for her tea and coffee, while Kevin likes to have his travelling office with him where ever he goes.
10. At the end of this summer, Kevin and Emma are excited to welcome their first child – no doubt there will already be a little pony waiting, ready to carry on the family tradition of learning to ride young!
