Pre-show routine:  “We don’t usually jump a lot; we save Chadeau for the bigger classes.  We don’t do anything really special.”

Most embarrassing moment: “When I was 6, I was trying to get off my pony, and my jodhpurs caught the stirrup.  My pony was running around, and I was just hanging off the side.  My mom even has pictures.”

Fun Fact: “I like to go sand duning with sand rails.”

Hardest Lesson:  “Once we had an hour flat lesson without stirrups plus jumping without stirrups.”

Good luck charm: “I consider my mom my good luck charm.”
