Life motto:
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m possible!
How long have you been riding and for how long?
Since I was a kid (around 7 years old), my parents influenced me to start riding and from the day I stepped on the pony, I was into it!
How do you stay motivated?
Trying to remember the joy why I started riding when things get tough, and remembering how privileged we are to train and be surrounded by amazing animals
How many hours a day do you spend at the stables?
More than in my home, we start the days around 7 and most of the time, I finish teaching around 9 or 10 in the evening.
