About
It seems a little redundant to have an “About Me” page on a blog that is entirely about me, but if you want the cliff notes version:
My parents made the mistake of letting me actually sit on a horse (instead of buying me another book or model horse to play with) when I was six or seven. Shortly after, I was taking lessons; within a few years, we were leasing a horse. When I turned fifteen, I bought the Super Saint, a bay Thoroughbred who brought me up the ranks at shows, from the 2’6” to 3’ hunter/jumpers and from Training to Second Level dressage.
I continued to ride in college but was plagued by back injuries and had a nasty fall near the end of my senior year. I took several years off to pursue graduate studies; by the time I started riding again, the thought of jumping terrified me and I changed my focus entirely to dressage. My inner hunter princess, however, remains firmly intact.
I currently do not own a horse, but thanks to the generosity of my trainer and some great owners, I have had some incredible opportunities lately that have improved my riding exponentially.
This summer I hope to ease back into showing with some schooling shows.
If you ever happen to meet me in person, allow me to apologize in advance. I am much funnier and more outgoing on paper than I am in person.
