First Horse: "Bunny" 15.2 hh, Chestnut, QH mare. She was the best! I had her for 10 years and showed in everything from our 4-H Fair to the Children's Jumpers at the "A" shows. I even taught her how to drive....sort of anyway. My parents said "no way" when I asked them to buy me a cart... so I drove her around in a nylon harness I bought myself for $100 dragging a jump pole. My trainer loved me!! First horse show ribbon ever: 4th place in Walk-Trot Equitation (At a barn show, wearing purple pants and a plaid shirt...oh yeah!) Biggest riding accomplishment to date: Ridden in two $25,000 Grand Prix and survived! I was also 12th at the AQHA World Championship show in 1998 in Open Jumping! Most embarrassing horse moment: I had a student jump out of the show ring into the adjoining show ring... into someone's hunter classic round!
