I started asking about riding horses when I was very small. I would toddle around on my bike, pretending it was an elegant steed. It would take a lot of asking and convincing, but eventually my parents enrolled me into riding lessons with my very first four legged partner. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work with world class trainers in multiple disciplines, including western, dressage, vaulting, and hunter jumpers. Horses have always been at the forefront of my brain, even when I wasn’t in a time or place in my life where I could ride regularly.
Last year, when I met this beautiful Akhal Teke boy, I couldn’t quite believe he could be mine, but somehow a dream of a year later, we’re going strong. And he’s just been amazing. He and I share quite a few personality traits. Both of us are disciplined and focused on what we do, but we goof around with each other. We’re both hilariously socially awkward and often miss the punchline, but we enjoy being around other people and horses and trying new things. He’s made me remember why a heart horse is so special, and I’m so excited to share his first fancy photos taken by le moi.
