Adele loves the magical bond she’s built with her horse, Lucky Charm, in the sport of show jumping. Riding isn’t just a sport to her — it’s a partnership. She loves that every day brings something new to learn, and that Lucky Charm is truly a teammate, not just an animal she rides. That connection — trusting each other, growing together, communicating without words — is what she treasures most.
Adele is inspired by her horse, Lucky Charm, her partner in show jumping. Their bond has taught her patience, trust, and teamwork in a way nothing else could. Watching how hard Lucky Charm tries for her pushes Adele to work just as hard in return — showing her that real partnership means showing up for each other, in and out of the ring.
hat makes me proudest is watching Adele grow as a person through this sport. She puts her heart and soul into every ride, and even when she doesn’t win, she learns from the moment and comes back more secure and determined. She listens to her horse, Lucky Charm, respecting her when she’s not up for training that day — a reflection of her deep love for animals. And her rankings show it: that growth, patience, and heart are paying off.
