• How long have you been riding?
  • I have been riding since I could walk but have been riding at Knollwood for 14 years.
• Your Horse’s name:
  • I have never owned my own horse however I am currently leasing for the 2nd year Americana’s Standing Ovation aka Allen. We show in the 5-Gaited division.
• Favorite Horse:
  • Of all the horses I have had the honor of showing, two stand out…Ch-Eq Brookhill’s Passion Punch, aka Leila and Allen (Americana’s Standing Ovation).
• Your biggest Accomplishments:
  • Leila and I, in one season, accomplished what dreams are made of…we were able to navigate huge classes and tough patterns in her 1st year as an EQ horse to win the Triple Crown of Saddle Seat Equitation in 2018 and in that same year my team and I went on to win the Gold Medal for the 5-Gaited US Team in the 2018 Saddle Seat World Cup.
• Who influences you:
  • My biggest influences are my parents and my coaches. They collectively believe in me and support me through every aspect of my life.
• Favorite Quote:
  • My favorite quote is actually the quote Knollwood runs by, “It’s not the ribbon, it’s the ride”. It does not matter the color of the ribbon you earn, all that matters is that you believe that you did your best and learn from your experiences.
• What being on the 2022 World Cup Team means to you:
  • Just like in 2018 and now in 2022 being on the World Cup team is about being a part of a team and having the ability to represent the United States in a competition with the best riders in our industry and world!
