When I was about three years old, my dad took me to my first horseback riding class. And from that day on, it was the start of a love that will last forever. I made a new family, one who was formed not only by humans but by horses too. I had family and friends that supported me in this is sport and it was more than I could ever ask. And this family will be in my heart forever even with we are far away. Horseback riding helped me build my confidence and trust. Not to only trust me but others too, and rely on my abilities and not be insecure. I went on lot of competitions around Brazil, and those helped me be more concentrated and be serious when needed. Horseback riding became my passion in a very short time, it was the only place I could forget life’s stress and just appreciate the moment. Jumping the courses made me feel free, like no one could stop me. The wind in my face, and the moment me and my horse left the ground made me feel like flying. Even with it’s in a indirect way, all the situations I was put through change me to me more ambitious and determined and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the memories i made there.
Walk where your heart leads you, there are no restrictions and no burdens.
