What has been the most memorable moment for you in the barn?:  There are so many things that have happened in this barn that are memorable.  I can’t pinpoint one time in particular other than when we bought Playboy.
 
What has been the most memorable moment for you in the show ring?:  I will always remember winning the two-year-old Pleasure at State with Lily.  That felt like a huge achievement!
 
What does riding and showing mean to you?:  Like Jim and Sandy’s motto,  “It’s more than the blue ribbon!”  I totally agree!  Riding and showing is so much more than that!  I’ve been so lucky to grow up in this environment and have it be the foundation of who I am.
 
What are you’re long term goals: There is nothing I desire more than to continue in the equine industry .  I don’t know for sure whre I’m going to be in a few years from now, but I do know it will definitely involve horses!
