I was actively training horses from age 12 to 14, with jumping being my main focus and passion during that time. In that relatively short period, I progressed quickly enough to even move up to a gallop, which felt like a major accomplishment. Just as I was preparing for a fox hunting event, I ended up stopping my training altogether. Those few years gave me a solid foundation in equestrian skills, particularly in jumping disciplines, though I never got to compete in that fox hunting event I'd been working toward.
