“I started riding horses when I was four, as my mom had signed me up for a horse camp, and I just continued doing it. I find it relaxing to ride horses and it has been a hobby where have I made many friends. Horse riding has made a big impact on me; I’ve learned so many things from it and I can’t imagine my life without it. I hope I can have a future in it, as I’ve been showing up since I was about 8-years-old and I’ve gone to state three times — becoming champion once and getting runner up once. I hope I can continue riding and have my kids ride someday.”
