About Me: Hey there! I'm Kit, a gentle soul with a heart for adventure. With 15 years of experience under my saddle, I've mastered the art of making every ride enjoyable, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced rider. I’m easygoing and love spending time with friends—both human and equine!

Interests: I thrive on trail rides, whether I’m exploring with a group or enjoying a peaceful solo jaunt. I have a competitive side too! If you’re into barrels or poles, I’ve got potential to shine in those disciplines. But at the end of the day, I’m just as happy to take it slow and soak up the scenery on a leisurely ride.

Looking For: I’m seeking a fun rider who appreciates my easy-going nature and is excited to bond over rides, whether we’re going fast or taking it easy. Let’s create unforgettable memories together!

Fun Fact: I love munching on treats and being around people. If you’re into cuddles and a trusting partnership, swipe right! 🐎❤️

Swipe Right If: You’re ready for a ride buddy who’s as versatile as they come!
