My love for horses started when I was 6, when I would go to a neighbor’s house and ride her horse. I started taking lessons when I was 9 at Oak View Stables. I started with hunters, showing in cavaletti on a pony named B.B. and worked my way to Short Stirrup. Later, I moved onto a horse named Max “Maximilian” doing Pre-Children’s and Children’s Hunters, receiving many awards including a Reserve Champion at the Germantown Charity Horse Show in 2007 in Pre-Children’s. I developed a passion for jumpers, so I started riding jumpers on my horse Gracie “Southern Grace.” I started in Hopeful Jumpers and worked my way to High-Child Adult Jumper, receiving various awards at shows including Grand Championat the Germantown Charity Horse Show in 2009, and Grand Champion of the year in Low-Child Adults for MHJA.
