Home Is Wherever I'm in the Saddle
My childhood was spent on a ranch with four horses and plenty of freedom, in every sense of the phrase. It's a big reason I'm such a thrill seeker.
I was raised on a ranch with four horses and free rein, in both the literal and the figurative sense. Of course I came out of it a thrill seeker.
Loving horses quickly led me into competitive showjumping, and I think living with that much adrenaline on a regular basis changes a person. On the back of a horse is where I feel at home. I could be sailing over a jump or galloping along the ocean, and nothing else compares.
It has cost me 5 concussions, but I wouldn't undo any of it.
I'm happiest when I'm packing horses through the wilderness. The peace and freedom out there are something few people ever get to feel, and I'm so grateful I've had the chance.
My next goal is owning a ranch of my own! Nothing beats having horses at home.
