About me: I’m a 21 year old college student, from Holly Springs, NC, majoring in Business Administration and Human Resources. My family includes: parents – Dennis and Sherri and younger sister – Lauren, as well as our two Labradors, Zoe and Myles. Most of my time is split between school and riding or going to the shows, but when I have down time I will never turn down the opportunity to spend some time with family and friends or see a great movie. I have been showing nationally for 8 years now and started with the all-around. Nowadays I am just strictly a pleasure girl! Even though I was not “born” into the horse industry, I have been fortunate enough to achieve some great successes and have owned some wonderful horses during the time I have been involved. I’ve attained multiple Congress top tens and trips to the finals, qualified for the World Show, and had numerous futurity wins.
About my horse: My current partner is Invest With A Chex (aka “Peanut”) – a 2005 sorrel gelding by Zippo Pine Chex and Beas Invest In Shy. We are showing in the Amateur and 3-Year-Old Non-Pro pleasure events this year. Peanut and I have only been a team since August of last year. In that short amount of time, though, we have won or been top five at many major futurities, earned a top ten together at the Congress in the 2 Year Old Non-Pro, won nearly $9,000 in futurity and stakes class money, and most recently started collecting points in the Amateur pleasure. He has been a wonderful horse that I and also my family have enjoyed having as a part of our lives. Peanut and I are under the skilled guidance of Steve and Jennifer Reams from Ellerbe, NC. I credit them for much of the success I have been able to experience – they are some of the best and are so dedicated to their profession.
