My hero is Eric Lamaze. Yes, he did have some drug problems. But he got them figured out and now he has an amazing record. Also, he won the gold medal on the best horse of all time!
My equestrian hero is my sister. She had cancer when she was 7. Even though she was sick she began showing in 4-H. About a year later she made a full recovery from her cancer. Then she won a Paint Horse World Championship on her horse Brush Wood Fire (Skipper).
Dominique Barbier is a fantastic role model! He really knows how to flow with the horses and can show you success without the use of words :) Just by speaking with him, you know he really cares about making you and your horse be the best you can be!
My equestrian hero is Beezie Madden, because she grew up not being able to go to shows and take lots of lessons, but she still grew up to be an Olympice medalist, and my dream is to compete in the olympics.
My equestrian hero is my trainer. I admire her for the way she rides and treats horses. She's been riding her entire life and it shows. She can stick on any horse like glue. I have never seen her misstreat a horse. She puts the horses first and knows how they think.
My Equestrian Hero is Alyxandra Swanhall (her biography is The Champion Inside, if you don"t know her) I like it because she had some challenges in her life that most people can relate to. She is an excellent role model for everybody, because she never gave up!
Stacy Westfall. She grew up on a small farm like me and didn't have the best trained horse or a lot of money and look where she is now! Her being famous and so amazing lets me know that I can be a great rider too!
Lis Hartel, not only was she the first women to get a medal in the Olympics for equestrian, but she was paralyzed below the knees. She also played a role in starting therapeutic riding schools. I first read about her while doing a project for school, and ever since then Iv been just amazed at what she accomplished in her lifetime.
My hero(s)have to be everyone that are involved in horses. I have learned so much from everyone that has been working with horses; even just glancing at a person riding a horse in the arena or on the side of the road teaches you something. Little things like that add up.
I would Have to say My hero is my Trainer. My Trainer is My best friend and my Hero. She has tought me everything from Ridding to owning your best friend. I can not say my Trainer has never stood beside me durring the hard time on our horse. She has always been there for me. I Love her so much and I hope to be like her when I am Old enough and exsperanced enough to train my own students!
