I love most about my sport is the connection that I have between my pony and my self. I get to travel and compete all over the world. I love hard competition to push my self harder. You have to have a need for speed as I run against adults of all ages and large horses. We might be small but we are mighty. Size doesn’t slow us down. We are the most determined team out there.
My mom/coach inspires me in and out of the arena. She spends countless hours coaching me and making sure my pony and myself are performing our best at all time’s. She has no problem, hauling a big trailer anywhere to any show at any hour. She is my biggest fan and you can always hear her every time I am running my pony.
One moment in their athletic journey that makes me the proudest is when they won NBHA Canada Pole Bending Champion. They ran against the best of the best. Just a small girl and her pony. Beating adults and large horses of all sizes with a 20 second run.
