Believe in yourself! It’s hard to hear so many “NO’s”. Just have faith. Find a great group of like minded people. There will be hard times and plenty of times you wanna quit, KEEP GOING! I promise it will be all worth it in the end and rewarding
Now tell us about your love for horses? And how often do you practice?
I love horses because they are so intuitive and it’s so incredible how a huge animal could be so human-like, And scared of leaves! I learned from a very young age my love for horses. It all started when my brother was terrified to go on the little pony rides at the zoo or festival. I said “Hey, there isn’t anything to be scared of. I’ll show you.” And when they put me on that pony- I don’t know what it was but something in my heart exploded and from that day forward, I knew they were my pride and joy. I am at the barn every other day and I train for 3 days. 2 days I work on eventing and jumping, and the 3rd day I just do dressage.
You are followed by so many young fans. How do you feel about that pressure of always doing the right thing, and encourage people to follow their dreams?
I try not to take life too seriously. I am still just an 11yr old kid. I will mess up. Hopefully not too bad. I hope I can show my fans that being yourself is okay. Life’s a journey not a destination. Finding happiness in the small things is really what matters. I also love younger kids and hanging out with them, so that’s a bonus!

Being resilient. Hard work pays off.
