Over the years riding has meant a variety of different things to me. If you had asked me when I was 5 why I rode I would quite frankly say just for fun, and because I liked to. Over the years, horses and the whole equine world became something more to me; I have been at many different barns and each exposed me to different things--many honorable role models, a couple atrocious role models, forever friends and connections, life values, respect, and the importance of a balance between the fun and…
