FIRST TIMER
What does it mean to you to
compete at the US Dressage Finals?
It means everything! Experience and exposure
at each competition gives the opportunity
to learn and grow. This was my first time
competing at regionals and now qualifying for
finals. So exciting and such an honor!
What do you like to do
when you’re not riding?
I’m on a club traveling lacrosse team, Project
Missouri.
JUNIORS/YOUNG RIDERS
What is your favorite thing about
the horse you’re competing?
So many things—we adore Anastasia and are
extremely grateful for the opportunity to ride
such an accomplished horse.
What’s one thing your horse has taught you
throughout your partnership?
Calm confidence.
Is there anything you and your horse
have been working on that you’re
especially excited to showcase?
Calm confidence again! Anastasia’s experience
and knowledge paired with a young rider
allows me to trust the partnership.
