I have been ridingwith her for 13 years so I know I can always count on her to send me in the right direction.Her fiancee and one of my other trainers, George D’Ambrosio, always steps in and givesme that ‘extra push’ when I need it. My teachers at Ranney School have been so supportive;this was the first year I was able to stay in Wellington for the full winter circuit and it isbecause of them, working with all of my Florida tutors that I was able to keep my gradesup! And of course, a big THANK YOU to my parents, not just for the financial backing,but also for the love and encouragement.”
