How old were you when you started riding8 years old

When did you know you wanted to be a pro:  at 12, all I could think or talk about were horses & horse shows

First Horse:  Chance (Heart's Desire): A green 9 year old, off the track, very head shy, TB mare (I was so little I had to stand on a milk crate in her stall for an hour trying to put the bridle on before I rode!)

First horse show ribbon ever Blue in Equitation

Biggest riding accomplishment to date:  Winning the Miller's Child/Adult Classic at Zone 3 Hunter Finals in Virginia

Most embarrassing horse moment Dismounting from riding a miniature pony, all of 9.2h, my jeans ripped wide open (in the least flattering of places), in the middle of the ring (full of lesson students!).....however, I learned duck tape really does fix everything!

Nicest horse you've ever ridden: Tons!, but usually I was asked to ride the ones that were misbehaving at the time!
