HorseBack Riding

         Horseback Riding has been my passion since grade four. I started riding at Sunnybrook
stables. It was a great starting point because the barn is right in the city and the coaches are very cautious and informative. I rode there for five years and have no regrets. I found out that I loved riding and that I was " born to ride" when I did a camp in the summer called Saddlewood. It's a two week overnight riding camp, and you basically ride twice a day getting to experience every riding event. I knew from that camp that I wanted to compete and I formed a dream and goal, to compete in the Royal Winter Fair or the Olympics.

      In grade nine I was going through a tough period of my life and decided to stop riding for a while.
I wanted to quit because I thought I was useless. Once I got back in the saddle in the summer I realized that riding is a thing that makes me happy, and that I should never quit. My coaches always told me I had a special bond with horses and that I was a natural at riding.

    Now I ride at a barn called DreamCrest which is an eventing barn. It has a lot
of competition chances and high level coaching. I love it there and couldn't ask for a better barn. I'm also part of the pony club which is a national club for kids to compete with their ponies. I also love being apart of the pony club.


    I'm blessed and lucky to have found a passion and hobbie that I love and makes me happy. I'm working hard and hope my dreams of becoming an Olympic rider ,coach , trainer, and open my own barn come true.
