Of all the ponies you’ve ridden, which is your favorite?
Sugar!
What pony would you like to ride?
My big pony, Tucker.
How did you get into riding?
My mom sat me on a horse when I
was six weeks old. My first birthday present was a miniature horse
named Milkyway. I got my pony Sugar a little after that and I have
been riding and showing her sidesaddle since I was 18 months
old.
What is your favorite horse show?
The 2013 Aiken Horse
Show. My mom and I did the Walk Trot Family class on my two
ponies in our sidesaddles. My mom made Sugar a seahorse
costume and I rode her in the costume class as a mermaid.
What was the high point in your riding career?
Trotting.
What was the low point?
Sugar shook me off at a horseshow
once in the leadline class, that was definitely the worst.
Who are your Equestrian Idols?
My mom.
Other than riding, what do you do?
I like to play and swim. I
also do beauty pageants, ballet and tap.
What are your plans for the future?
I want to ride more horses. I
can’t wait until I’m big enough to start jumping.
