A QUICK GLIMPSE AT WHO I AM...

---

Hi, I'm Alexis! I live in Northeast Ohio and I have been riding horses since I was 10 years old, it is my passion. 

 I took several years away from the sport in order to pursue my education. I received by Bachelor's of Science Degree from THE Ohio State University and my Master's of Science in Food Safety from Michigan State University. My education has lead me to a career that allows me flexibility so that I can enjoy my time at the barn and go to horse shows without the pressures of taking time off. I know not everyone has that privilege so I am grateful for my boss and the company I work for. 

 I have been lucky to own to 3 of the best horses: an amazing, kid friendly, goofy Appendix named Irish; the most people friendly Off-The-Track Chestnut Thoroughbred named Jack; and a big, beautiful fancy Irish Sport Horse named Riley! Irish and Jack taught me so much about riding and helped shaped me for this next phase with Riley.

A couple of years ago I decided to write a book about my journey with horses, focusing on my OTTB Jack. I didn't expect it to become anything and truth be told it hasn't, I did zero marketing for it, but it did lead me to create a website to share a little more about my life as an adult amateur equestrian through a simple equestrian blog.

I have crossed a lot off my equestrian to do list but there is still more to do. I want to show cross country, ride in A-Rated events, and ultimately show at the Kentucky Horse Park. Some of those I never thought possible, but thanks to Riley, I truly believe we can accomplish anything :)
