Equestrian blog intro

Hello! Welcome to my new equestrian blog. This blog is to follow me throughout my riding endeavors and to document my progress as I try to become a top level equestrian.

Here is a little background on me: I am 26-years-old and I currently groom for the Cincinnati Polo Club. I exercise their horses and haven't taken a riding lesson since I was 16. I rode a little bit of Western, and a lot of English (eventually focusing on hunter/jumper) from when I was 8 until 16 and I just came out of a 9 year hiatus a few months ago. Now I want to ride and compete seriously.  I was recently taken on by a bronze and silver medalist from the USDF as a working student and I am really excited. I start Thursday.

I am quite busy outside of the horse community as well. I am an independent filmmaker and photographer. I recently had my first commercial air on cable TV. I am going to school online at Full Sail University for creative writing as I want to be a screenwriter and director. I have my associate's degree in electronic media and animation and I can speak French and Spanish moderately well.

I'm a broke equestrian and sometimes a starving artist, so I am looking for sponsors. If you would like to donate to help me buy gear, there is a donate button on the side. I'm currently in need of a new helmet as my helmet is over 10 years old and before my hiatus, I fell in it. You're supposed to replace your helmet every 5 years or after any fall.

 Here are two videos documenting my progress so far:
