I started riding during the pandemic as everything else was cancelled. That’s when I met Bella, my first pony. I fell in love instantly. I started showing and moved to my current pony, Arty. Dressing for practice and the shows invited a different style than what I was used to. I began to develop my own style by adding belts that weren’t standard. I wanted a broader selection of belts, not just black or navy. I wanted textures and patterns, so I created my own.
