I am very passionate about equine sports and saddle seat in particular. I have been involved in a variety of activities related to horses, such as competing in local shows, attending clinics, and volunteering as a Junior Camp Counselor at Avalon. I am applying for this scholarship to improve my skills and eventually compete at the Ocala International Horse Show. Advancing up to the performance level has been a dream come true and I couldn't have done it without the help of my family and trainer, Lonna Carter. I am thankful for the opportunity to apply for the Jodi Missak Fulton scholarship, as it will help me gain further knowledge and expertise.
