I have been riding horses since I was 5 years old, and I absolutely love the sport and amazing people and experiences I have gained from it. When I started competing on the A circuit, I realized how much passion and drive I have for showing. I train with Gisele O’Grady, Leigh Stitzer Rice, and Jeanne Smith out of Clearview Farm in Landrum, South Carolina.
I’m currently a junior at Carolina Day School in Asheville, North Carolina. I am extremely dedicated to my academics. I maintain a 4.4 weighted (3.91 unweighted) GPA, and I am enrolled in all AP and Honors classes. When I’m not riding, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, skiing, and being a summer camp counselor.
If I were to be recruited onto a collegiate level equestrian team, all of the work I have put into the sport would pay off, and I would be extremely grateful. I hope to find a school with an excellent riding team, as well as rigorous academics. I cannot wait to find a team to ride on in college, and start the next chapter of my equestrian career!
