Thank you for supporting Danica in this competition. Your participation made a huge impact for the Why Not You Foundation and their mission to empower change in the world, one individual at a time and one child at a time.

What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Danica loves learning how to ride and handle all the horses. If she doesn't do well on a particular ride she wants to try it again until she gets it down pat.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

I think her grandpa inspires her most. He has taught her not to be afraid of hard work. Also, if you want something bad enough you will work hard until you get it and never give up.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

My proudest moment is watching her support the younger riders and encouraging them to do their best. If they are struggling or upset she shares her knowledge to help them and boost their confidence.
