IMG_22801.) What are some of the highlights and successful moments in the 2015 show season for you?
In 2015 I was champion in the Arabian hunt seat equitation not to jump 13 and under at youth nationals and was also two time reserve champion in the Arabian working hunter and equitation over fences. At sport horse nationals I was champion in the half Arabian working hunter ATR, half Arabian hunter hack, hunt seat equitation not to jump ATR, and I received a reserve champion in the equitation over fences. I finished a great year with 4 nationals champions and 3 national reserve champions.
2.) Who has been your biggest influence in the Arabian breed in getting you to where you are today?
My biggest influences have been my trainers Ricci and Stephanie Desiderio. They have been involved in the Arabian breed for a very long time and has taught me everything I know in and out of the show ring and are always pushing me to do my best. I would not be nominated for this award with out there help and guidance through the Arabian circuit.
3.) If someone were to describe you, what would they say about you?
If someone were to describe me they would most likely say that I am hardworking and competitive.
4.) Name one show ring quirk you have:
A show ring quirk that I have is for every class I go into I wear a pair of pearl earrings that give me good luck.
