Facebook is about the only one I know how to work! ➜ App: e Huffington Post and Candy Crush ➜ Vacation destination: Anywhere! I usually spend my vacation time with family, but I would like to go to the beach soon. I've never been! ➜ City: I'm not much of a city person, but I've been to Paris twice and loved it. ➜ Place to ride: e woods. We have miles and miles of trails at Ms. [Jacqueline] Mars' beautiful farm in Virginia [where I'm based], and it's a nice break from the arena for both me and the horses. ➜ Place to shop: I'm an eBay addict. I never buy anything without checking eBay first. ➜ Non-horsey hobby: Who has time?! I actually really enjoy cooking, though, and am now attempting my own small garden. ➜ Memory in the saddle: ere are too many to count. I've had so many special horses and so many special moments in this sport, but most recently would definitely be jumping the last show jump with Veronica at Kentucky. ➜ Competition venue : Any event that puts in the effort to give us a place to do this sport is top-notch in my book. ➜ Barn chore: I actually enjoy mucking out and grooming. My least favorite chore is lates! ➜ Type of horse: I really don't think I have a type; all of my top horses couldn't be more different from each other, and I wouldn't trade any of them.
