    passionate about horses, riding, training, caring for them, etc. I love skiing/snowboarding and ice skating. I enjoy spending as much time outside and in nature as possible.

  • Description

    I consider myself to be a compassionate, spirited, considerate, playful and kind hearted young woman. I am most happy when I am somewhere that is surrounded by nature and I am able to wander, ride horses, bike, do yoga/gymnastics/dance, garden, craft, spend time with children, spend time with friends and family, and also have time to be by myself. Any combination of these things, bring me joy and motivate me to make the best of every day. I thrive off of having children, animals and gardens in and around my life that I need to care for.
