Do you take a special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Kateřina Kocurová:
I don’t have special diet, but I try to eat fresh and healthy food mostly, so I can afford also some treat like chocolate or fast food.

Five foods you absolutely love and five you keep to a minimum.
Kateřina Kocurová:
Number one is chocolate, can’t live without it. Then it could be sushi, pizza and any type of good fruit or cheese. I really don’t like sweet potatoes and raisins, so I don’t eat meals containing that.

I follow the motto “less is more”. I use natural shampoo, soap and deodorant. I don’t wear much makeup (just for competition, that’s a show time) and it works the best for me.

Building trust forms the core of vaulting athlete relationships with horses. Adapting to different horses for international competitions requires building trust swiftly. What is your unique strategy to build the near perfect connection with equine partners, Elaborate?
Kateřina Kocurová:
As I said before, connection with a horse is the most important to me. Because I ride horses in classic way too, spending the whole day with them, I think I got a sixth sense for them. I am trying to observe their behavior and reactions to me. They always tell you what they think if you listen carefully enough.

Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about a day in the life of Kateřina Kocurová.
Kateřina Kocurová:
My day in life might not seem very interesting, but it’s what I wished for many years and of course occasionally I also do something else then just this.
I wake up, make myself breakfast and go to work, I work as a horse rider and groom in same stable as I train, so I am basically whole day with horse. My hobby literally became my job. When I am finished or how I plan it during the day I have variations of trainings. Later I make myself a dinner, I really enjoy cooking.
