Up to this point what are the
highlights from your riding career?:
Most of my highlights come from achieving my
own personal goals rather than horse shows.
For instance, little things like mastering
flying changes on a pony or important things
like winning shows. One of the greatest
highlights from showing, though, was in 2007
(I think) when, with the help of a fantastic
pony named Scat Man Du, I won the year
round champion in the Pleasure Division at
Greenfields Stables. Another highlight was
competing and pinning at the Ludwigs Corner
horseshow and others such as Vince Dugan's
as well.
How long have you been riding?:
4 and a half years

What are your long term riding goals?:

My long term goals, as of right now, are
to compete and place in the Devon Horse
show and eventually become a good enough
rider to train my own horse(s).
What words of wisdom would you
give to others?:

Falling off only makes you a stronger rider, and even if you fall in a show, don't be
embarrassed. It happens to even the best horse back riders (yes, meaning the great Priscilla
Godsoe has even had her fair share of embarrassing falls) and if you don't get back on, you'll
never get to show everyone that you can do it.
What do you enjoy most with horses?:

I don't even know how to answer this question. I
just love the atmosphere. I love being around the
horses because they're all so unique and have
different personalities. They're just like people
in that way. I love just spending time with my
pony, Kaya, but of course I love to get out there
and ride (:

What is your first
memory from riding?:
Bumping along on my aunt's
little pony feeling pretty
awesome because I could steer
through cones!

Do you enjoy any other
hobbies outside of horses?:

I'm really involved with my school
and some of the programs there.
However, they're mostly
in-school type of things, so
horses really are my focus, when
I can get around my school work
of course.
