I want to take some space to describe my history as a horse lover from where I started the journey that got me here and is taking me where I’m going. I haven’t always ridden dressage, and the majority of my years of equine education were far from classical. I share this backstory not only to introduce myself and my background, but also to show the importance of learning and openness– we always have more to learn and it’s just as valuable to know what you don’t want to do as what you do. Horses still teach me every day how much more learning I have to do.
