Sophie Clauwers

I am passionate about becoming the best rider and horsewoman I can be, and I see the GRIT program as an incredible opportunity to continue pursuing that goal. I am eager to deepen my knowledge not only in riding and horse care, but also in how I can further develop myself as an athlete off the horse. Growing up in a family-run show barn, I have been fortunate to ride a variety of horses and learn something new from each one. That experience has strengthened my appreciation for adaptability, horsemanship, and continuous learning. I am excited to take what I learn through GRIT and apply it to every horse I have the opportunity to work with. I am especially drawn to the team environment, learning alongside and supporting like-minded peers who share a commitment to growth and excellence.
