Each day I learned more and more from this seasoned veteran and one evening I told him how I would like to compete internationally. Instead of dismissing me he looked me straight in the eye and said “ you can never attain lofty goals if you don’t think about them and think about them often.”

The last day with Greg and Kim was very special. He brought out a young horse that had just won at the Horse of the Year Show. He was green but had a great deal of potential. I rode Moni that day and we clicked almost immediately. By that evening my father had made the decision along with Greg that Moni would be the horse that could help me reach some of my goals along the way. I was so excited I ran out to the paddock and told Moni that I would be bringing him on a long adventure with me!

That was over a year ago and the lesson of living immersed in your dream has only been strengthened. I look forward to blending university life with my athletic goals. To sum up the lesson I learned through this experience I need to quote Henry David Thoreau, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.” That is exactly what I intend to do.
