The 2025 season marked an exciting milestone in my career as I moved into the 1.20 m division. My goal was to step into the 1.20 ring by the end of the season, and I achieved that by the fourth show, going on to produce consistent results and earn a place on the Royal waitlist. In 2026, I am focused on continuing to develop within the 1.20 division while strengthening the qualities that contribute to long-term success in the sport. I recognize that high performance extends beyond riding alone, it requires mental strength, physical preparation, stamina, discipline, and resilience. I am excited about the opportunity GRIT provides to grow in all of these areas. Most of all, I look forward to the team environment, where learning alongside like-minded and driven athletes will continue to push and inspire me to become the rider I aspire to be.
