MACEY
Are you gripped to the new CBBC horsey show, Mystic? We are! So great news that there are five brand new eps landing this month! We caught up with the show’s star, Macey Chipping – who plays Issie – and horse master, Greg Smith, who’s responsible for the awesome horses in the show...
Did you have an interest in horses before landing the role?
My friends had horses growing up, but I never did. During the summers I’d go with them to their yards and they’d let me have a go on their ponies, so I had some experience of riding. But I definitely didn’t have as much of an interest in them as I do now.
Now you’ve fi nished filming season one, do you think you’ll carry on riding?
Absolutely! I’ve already been trying to persuade my parents to let me carry on having riding lessons, as it’s a new skill that I don’t want to give it up. Plus, it’s so much fun!
