I have been riding since I was four years old on and off. I am intermediate in both Western and Dressage style riding and believe that not only has riding and learning how to interact with a large animal, I believe I have learned tons of self discipline. Any horseback rider can tell you that it's a lot of work. Some people believe it's mostly the horse doing the work, but that is not the truth, it's teamwork.
Running & Hiking
Running and Hiking is something I've really gotten into the last few years. I started out barely being able to run a mile, due to being out of shape and asthma, however, after two years of building up my strength, I am happy to say that in 2016, I ran my furthest race in New York City, a 10K (6.2 miles). It's a big accomplishment and something I enjoy doing.
Traveling
Something I've picked up over the last few years. No, I haven't gone across the world (only once to Italy)! However, right now I am trying to explore what America has to offer and crossing things off my bucket list.
