There is so much to be thankful for this year but to name a few: great people and amazing horses.

A year ago the thought of me being back fully immersed into the eventing world seems very out of reach. The daunting and never ending hoops and hurdles I had to jump through to finally get back to where I belong seemed so out of reach. But we did it. I am very lucky for my team that stood by me through the unthinkable in 2024 that still backs me today. Everyone who picked me back up, wiped my tears, and encouraged me to dust myself off and keep fighting; I can never thank you enough. We are back.

I will never, ever, take a single day for granted again. This entire experience, is one that I never wish to live again, taught me so much about myself and those around me. I was able to step out of the daily scene and reminded why I chose horses/eventing as a career. It is the one thing that keeps me smiling, happy, and most of all it is the most fun job in the entire world. I get paid to ride horses everyday. As a professional we all tend to get swept under the rug and forced into tunnel vision. Everyone needs to pump the breaks and remember we do this for the love of horses and the sport. There isn’t a finish line with a timer set. Take your time. Do it right. Enjoy every minute. We shouldn’t dread a single time we get to swing a leg over because that can be taken from you in an instant. Always remain grateful for how far you have come. Happy Thanksgiving and snuggle your ponies❤️
As always a huge thank you to the companies that continue to support team DDE!
