As this 2025-26 IEA season comes to an unfortunate close, I just wanted to share my gratitude to my coach, family, friends, and teammates that have shared the mutual dedication and hard work this season. This team has changed the way I viewed IEA and riding. Not only did they offer me a friendship, they gave me a family. Watching these girls grow in the saddle and through sportsmanship has made me proud to call them their captain. And although my season ended shorter than I had hoped for, there is nothing more I could have asked for. I am so thankful for all the memories, challenges we faced, and late nights running around horse parks. So many thanks to @meg_owens @twin_oaks_equestrian and all the other trainers who helped and supported my goals. Megan has spent so much time on this team and it absolutely shows! Thank you for all your help and support for this IEA season. Not only does she push us to be great riders, but great people on the ground as well. On another note, I am so proud of each of my teammates and how strong and hard working they have been. They have only showed perseverance and grit. There are not enough words to describe how much I love each and every girl and how lucky I am to get to know them. I also would like to mention our middle school team that qualified for zones for their first season out! Thank you all for a great season! Go West Forsyth/ Twin Oaks 💜🤍

Taking an ex-barrel horse to a hunter show made for an interesting weekend 😂. Maggie tried so hard for me and did amazing. She got a 10th place against 15 in the canter crossrails and she got two 8th places + one 6th place in the 18in green hunters. Thanks @kaisaaax for a wonderful weekend and thanks @jlfee for the amazing photos. Also, congratulations @ava.s_eq for your clean sweep with Ravioli in the 18in green hunters, y’all really deserved it and did so well.

words can’t express how good the lord is!! this week was amazing. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to go to fuge this week. The amount of hurt that I let go of at camp this year is beyond amazing. The lord healed my heart and helped me forgive people I thought I could never forgive. God brought the youth at fellowship Bible so much closer than we were when we came. He has open my eyes to see that it’s okay to not be okay and the hurt that ive experienced is all apart of the plan God has for me and you. It’s His way and His will! I’m so thankful for everyone at fuge this week, they truly helped make this experience the very best. All glory and praise to God!
