I've started been around horses when I was 4 years-old. I started riding properly when I was 10 years-old. I did riding school and pony games until I was 13, then I got a pony and started doing dressage and competing. When I was around 17 years old I got a horse and continued to ride almost every day, and I competed at national level in Italy in dressage until reaching the Junior competition level. After I finished my high school I had to step back a little from horse riding, but never stopped. Now I live in the Netherlands and I keep riding every week.
