HOBBIES
(Left)MY HORSE ELLIE, SHE'S A SHIRE/THOROUGHBRED SPORT HORSE (AMERICAN WARMBLOOD) (Right)FLOWER, MY OTHER HORSE, SHE IS A QUARTER PONY, I GOT MY C2 ON HER AND WE ARE DOING NOVICE LEVEL. THAT'S AS HIGH AS SHE CAN JUMP A STADIUM COARSE.
I ride horses, play the violin, do websites, play tennis, and draw. I've been riding horses for 15 years (all of my life). I ride western, english, and contesting. I do almost everything. I'd like to learn polo. I am in pony club, 4H, and FFA. I don't do much in FFA, but I do a lot in the other two. In pony club I am a C2 and have have done well at knowdowns or "quizes" and have been to over six rallies. I qualified for Dressage Nationals last year in Virginia, but went to the State Fair instead in jumping. I placed in the top three at the State Fair almost every time I've been there. I am on my 4H horse bowl and hippology team. This year we have qualified to go to Nationals in both events since we got 1st in both at the state level.

I have been playing the violin for seven years. I have accomplished a lot. I play in my school orchestra, which recieved a Grammy for its music program. I am 3rd chair 1st violin, and that's as a sophmore! I am also in the Floyd County Youth Symphony where I am 5th chair 1st violin. Playing in orchestras is ok, but fiddling is what I enjoy. I like to play bluegrass, celtic, and fast stuff. Lets face it, I like to show off my skill! Every Thursday during the summer when I'm not in school, I play at a Irish Restaurant in Louisville KY. I'm also in a fiddle group called the Celtic Fire.
I've played tennis for four years. I'm pretty good at it, but I don't compete a lot.
I also love computers. I keep up my 4H and pony club websites. I also have one for my business page. I have my own little business.
I give riding lessons and violin lessons during the summer. People also pay me to clean their show tack; like saddles, bridles, and stuff.
I like to spend some of my time drawing and reading. I enjoy doing this. I'm not much into drawing real life, but crazy and different things. I like to draw dragons and robots. I also draw horses.

GOALS
I want to be an Equine Opthomologist, but I don't know yet if I have the ability to get through the tough college science classes. I also want to be a professional violinist. I love both horses and violin playing. I could do both. I was thinking about going to Julliard, but I don't want to do classical music. So I don't know what I'm going to do as of now. It will either be violin playing or something in animal science. I might just do both.
