Looking back on 2011, I am elated with how last year has played out. I had always talked about how I wished we could travel to other states to show, and also go to more big shows. Now, recalling this past year, it’s hard to believe that I was truly living my dream. For those who don’t know me, my name is Chelsea Carlson, I was the 2011 President of the Oregon Quarter Horse Youth Association, and devoted horse-crazed girl.
