Hi! I am Alexis, and I recently published my first book Amateur Dreams: Reaching New Heights which I co-star in along with my OTTB Jack.
A little bit about me...I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio. I have been riding horses for more than 20 years, thanks to my mom for getting me into the sport when I was young. She has always had a love for horses as well. Apart from riding, I love animals, watching/playing sports and, and spending time with my family.
Amateur Dreams is my debut novel. It started off as nothing more than notes really, scribbles on pages about the rides we had, the ups and downs we were going through and then almost out of nowhere it transformed into a story. After putting together a first draft of our story I left a copy for my mom, who is an avid reader, to look at. I didn't tell her I wrote it, I just wanted some general feedback. What did she say?? Well she asked me who the author was because she liked the story and wanted to read more. She was shocked when I told her it was me. From there I took the chance to finish the story and publish the book. Putting myself out there has been scary but also incredibly rewarding. I am looking forward to continuing our story with more books to come in the future.
From the beginning of my partnership with Jack, I have been an advocate of setting goals. I think that as an adult amateur equestrian that is important for growth and reaching your potential, especially when you have a young, fresh off the track partner like Jack was when I first got him. So far, we have checked a few of the goals I had for us checked off, it took a long time but we got there. We made our way out into the cross country field, we've been a on few trail rides and most recently competed at the World Equestrian Center in Ohio and placed in the Hunter Classic. My ultimate goal is to compete at the Kentucky Horse Park. Will we ever make it there?? Only time will tell but for now we are enjoying our time and growing more and more every day!
