Quite the Ride

ayden Muller-Janssen, who stars on the Disney television series “The Villains of Valley
View,” grew up in in Wellington, Florida, surrounded by horses. Kayden developed
a love for horses early in life, but horses aren’t her only passion. With the support of
her mother, dressage trainer Kerensa Muller, Kayden was enrolled in local theatre and voice
classes—all the while dreaming of getting her big break.
As I watched Kayden on The Disney Channel recently, I was thrilled to see one of our own
equestrians, through hard work and dedication, following her dreams. And I love that Kayden
gives credit to the horse world for preparing her for her role in front of the camera. As a dressage
rider, she said she was used to competing in front of others and feeling pressure to do her best,
and that has carried over to her role on “The Villains of Valley View.”
Getting to know Kayden has made me smile—from meeting her rescue dogs to her love for
her family’s horse, Diesel, who recently had his eye removed, to being involved as a volunteer
for Brooke USA, Kayden is living her best life. She is also a gifted singer and songwriter whose
music has been listened to by millions. Just in case you think she has lived a fairytale Disney
princess life, that’s not the case. Kayden was bullied in school for being an oddball—a reminder
that we all have to deal with adversity. I hope you enjoy getting to know Kayden, and if you have
young people in your life, encourage them to watch her on “The Villains of Valley View.”
I’m excited to introduce you to dressage rider Jennifer Truett, who has certainly had an
amazing ride, filled with hard work and big dreams. Jennifer and her husband, Lenny, own
Dancing Horse Farm in Ohio, and their farm’s motto is “Dare to Dream.” I’ll let you read her
story about buying a horse for one dollar to buying another horse on a budget, proving that
daring to dream can take you on the ride of a lifetime.
I enjoyed getting to know eventer Kelly Prather in this issue, and I think you will, too. Kelly’s
eventing career started when she was very young and has taken her around the world, and she
shares some of her amazing adventures with us. Kelly now lives in Ocala, Florida, where her
business, Kelly Prather Eventing, is thriving.
This is our Women Entrepreneurs issue and you’re in for a treat as we introduce you to a
group of talented women who have worked incredibly hard and followed their dreams to create
their own businesses. These women might inspire you to start your own business just like
Samantha Charles did 36 years ago when, as a woman entrepreneur, she started Sidelines—
and we are still dreaming big and enjoying the ride today.

I have to say thank you to Sidelines magazine

all of us who live for our horses. It was fun
being interviewed and sharing a page with my
incredible dream horse, Diacono Interagro,
fondly known as Connor (“Priscilla Baldwin:
Living for Adventure” by Ruby Tevis). He came
into my life five years ago and has made so many
of my dreams come true in the dressage ring!
Wonderful magazine to enjoy online or in print!
Humbled to share a few pages! Also thanks
to my wonderful husband, John Moffitt, who
always supports my dreams on and off a horse.
