Zandro - Zandro - 15.3 h. - 7 years old - Hanoverian - Chestnut - Gelding - Children's Hunters. Zandro is my "project horse." We imported him from Germany and he is very green! Hopefully we will eventually be able to turn him into my junior hunter. Strolling Along - Rolo/Strolls - 15.3 h. - 10 years old -WB/Thoroughblood - Bay - Gelding - Junior Hunters. Strolls is pretty new. He was hurt for the first couple months when we got him, and he is just now coming back. He is so cute and a blast to ride! Poison Ivy - Ivy - 15.1 h. - 10 years old - Bay - Mare - Children's Jumpers. Ivy is the cutest horse ever! She is very small for a jumper, but she can still get over the jumps just fine! I am just leasing her while I look for a bigger jumper. Ivy is so funny and so much fun to ride! She has taught me everything there is to know about the jumpers.
Q.	What is your current trainer’s name?	Matt Cyphert

Q.	What is the funniest or most embarrassing thing that has happened to you while showing a horse or pony?	I was at a horse show in Houston, and Saturday morning I realized that I had left my tall boots at home. My mom bought me some half-chaps that were shiny like tall boots at Quail Hollow, and I walked right into an Equitation class with the half-chaps and won it!
Q.	What has been your proudest moment in riding/showing?	Winning classics are the best! It's also really cool to win a jumper class because it's not judged like I'm used to in the hunters.
Q.	What are your future plans for riding? Do you have any goals? (Grand Prix, equitation, hunter finals, qualifying, etc.)	I'm planning to keep riding as long as I love it! I would love to qualify for junior finals and win a ribbon, and someday do Young Riders.
