This advanced rider is now taller than her instructor and is ready to move on. We are going to miss seeing Silvia weekly, considering she has been a consistent fixture at Mane Stream for 10 years!!
Silvia first came to Mane Stream for therapy sessions but I guess you could say she fell in love with horses and started to learn to ride.
During her years at Mane Stream she has moved up through the ranks, becoming a fully independent rider who is learning to jump! Not only has Silvia ridden consistently all these years, but she was also one of those campers who would sign up for multiple weeks and just couldn’t seem to get enough. It isn’t just fun for Silvia, she also has a competitive side. In 2015 she started competing in our Annual Horse Show and since then she has achieved both Reserve Champion and Champion ribbons, and has even been awarded the Abby Clay Rutgers Memorial Award for high point independent rider.
That’s some serious commitment and she obviously has a real love of horses and now she’s starting the next phase of her life. In July she and her family moved to Alabama, where she is currently looking at barns to find the perfect fit to continue to improve her horsemanship skills. Silvia proudly told us she is excited to start writing a blog about her riding and we look forward to reading about her all her experiences in Alabama.
Good luck Silvia!
