I began showing for St. Andrews University in 2014 as an Intermediate rider. I enjoyed being a rider for the team and went to Regionals, Semi-Finals, and Nationals as the Intermediate team rider and placed 7th overall. In 2015, I pointed up to Novice and began showing the Novice for our team. I also qualified to show the Individual Intermediate and went on to win Regionals, Semi-Finals, and Nationals. In 2015, I also placed 4th in the Team Novice at Nationals. In 2016, I pointed up to the Advanced class and began showing the Advanced for our team. Pointing up to the Advanced also qualified me to compete in the Individual Novice. In 2016, I won Regionals, Semi-Finals, and Nationals in the Individual Novice. In 2017, I continued showing the Advanced and am currently still showing in the Advanced class and hope to keep excelling to compete in the Open. Showing at St. Andrews University has taught me so much about being a horseman, allowed me to meet many influential individuals, and has also helped me to make some of my dreams come true. None of the teams’ success could be possible without Carla Wennberg or Lindsey Trockenbrot.
