Although I had been riding for ten years and showing competitively for most of that time, I realized in 2020 that I wanted to join a more advanced show program. Unfortunately, the pandemic came along just in time to close the stables and temporarily halt my riding, much less my move to a new program.  But, as the barns reopened and competition resumed, I had the opportunity to meet Patty Foster, a legend in her own right, of Rolling Acres Show Stable. As it happened, many of my friends had moved to RASS over the last few years and spoke very highly of the experience they were gaining. Once I met Patty and her team and was introduced to the wonderful mare, Sienna, who I would have a chance to lease, I knew it was meant to be. In my first show weekend with Sienna, at the Venice Equestrian Tour, we took Champion in Children’s Hunter!
