Professional equestrian for the Canadian Olympic Team in Show Jumping or Cross Country trials.

Unfortunately, the need for a fantastic start, great word of mouth, sponsors and an amazing coach and horse were just too much for a 12 year old to tackle. I was realistic, and it was sad to realize. I was good, and felt like I could really go the distance. But at the end of the day, if you're lacking in a coach whose been there and done that, climbing your way up to that level is harder than you can imagine. Lots of competition.

Plus, you need to have the right partner. Finding a horse that could go the distance with me was an equally difficult challenge, so soon that dream fissled out.

Now I've been and done a bit of everything. Right now I work for a pipeline supply company, and the pay is pretty good. As well as decent job security. So I'm feeling alright.
