Sport Specific Information
When and where did you begin this sport? She began riding at age five. "I guess I have to give credit to the local fairs and zoos because I would always beg my parents to go on the pony rides. Then we actually found a local barn in our area that just did Western [riding] called Autumn Rose."
Why this sport? In 2000 her family moved to a new property and built stables for her. "I didn't come from an equestrian family, so this was all new to everyone. As I grew up in this sport, so did they. I gave up my social life to focus on riding and transferred to a high school in Florida [in the United States of America] to train with other showjumpers."

Other information STABLES Her family run Blacklick Bend Farm in New Albany, OH, United States of America. The 70-acre facility includes indoor and outdoor arenas and offers livery and training. In 2019 she purchased a property in Wellington, FL, United States of America. "We go down to Florida for the winter months. We also have sale horses and horses we've bred on top of that which are always coming through our programme, so it's always exciting. I've found that training has helped my riding. It's kind of made me hone in more on my own skills and work on what I teach, so in that sense, it's been beneficial."
