“I’ve been riding horses for the better half of my life. I’ve competed seven out of the 12 years I’ve been riding. Horseback riding has given me a sense of responsibility and has made me more competitive,” said senior Brandi Schryer. “One of my favorite parts of horseback riding is the people. I’ve made so many friends that I would call family, and I’ve built great relationships with them over the years. Riding horses has helped me open up and has shaped me into the woman I am today.”
