2.) Who has been your biggest influence in the Arabian breed in getting you to where you are today?
I started riding at Vicki Humphrey Training Center when I was five years old and had started showing in the Walk-Trot Division. Vicki was always so encouraging. She pushed me to expand my abilities and has made possible, many opportunities for me to do so. She has always supported me in the many different disciplines you can compete in within the Arabian breed. I admire and respect Vicki ver much and enjoy being able to spend time with her around the horses. Over the years, Vicki has trained and shown some of the most fantastic Arabian horses in the country. To have her share her time and experience with me, is an opportunity I feel privileged to have.
3.) If someone were to describe you, what would they say about you?
She’s tall…smiles a lot…likes trucks…loves horses. Whether on a hunter going over fences, in the dressage ring riding a test, or showing sidesaddle, Showhack, English Pleasure, Costume, or Saddl Seat Equitation, she’s always eager to show whenever wherever.
4.) Name one show ring quirk you have:
I always walk circles whenever they are calling out the results. Always to the left, never right. I can’t stay still.
