My interest in horseback riding stems from my mother. She grew up riding and competing in dressage and county fair competitions throughout her childhood and early adult life. While my family couldn’t have a horse due to living in the suburbs, my mom made sure to let me attend various horse camps growing up. My most memorable horse camp was when I was nine. This horse camp did a parade around the farm at the end of the week, and we were able to decorate our horses. My horse’s name was Echo, and she was a stubborn sweetheart! The theme I chose to do was “Hawaii”. I took a bunch of plastic leis and connected them to make a huge horse sized lei. My mom and I took a huge piece of green fabric and cut it to look like a grass skirt. I even wore my own fake lei and grass skirt. It was a lot of fun and a memory to last time!
