Sonya started pony riding at a young age and it quickly became an obsession. Now she competes at high level horse riding events. Partnership and communication with herself and her horse are key as she navigates some seriously big jumps with a constant risk of death or serious injury. Not just risk of injury to herself, but also to her horse which brings an extra element to the mix! Listen for tales of xtremely close calls!

Thousands of people gathered in Ballycastle (Northern Ireland) to watch the Red Bull World Series Cliff Diving event. I was luck enough to interview one of the professional athletes and two of the safety divers. These athletes enter the water (from a 27 metre platform for men, and 21 metre platform for women) at speeds of up to 85 kph. It was a truly spectacular event!
