Home Is Wherever I'm Riding
I was raised on a ranch with four horses and plenty of freedom, in every sense of the phrase. That upbringing made me a real thrill seeker.
My childhood was spent on a ranch with four horses and free rein, in both the literal and the figurative sense. It made me a real thrill seeker.
Loving horses quickly led me into competitive showjumping, and I think living with that much adrenaline week after week changes a person. Being on a horse's back feels like home to me. Sailing over a jump or galloping along the ocean, nothing else comes close.
It has cost me 5 concussions, and I still wouldn't change a thing.
I'm happiest when I'm packing horses through the wilderness. That kind of peace and freedom isn't something many people get to know, and I'm truly grateful I've had the chance.
My next goal is a ranch of my own! Nothing beats having horses at home.
