What does it take to not only compete in but win the public vote in the Grassroots Rider Academy?

Well, today I speak to Megan Norton who did just that.

We start by talking about how she got into horses and despite her mother's protests once she got a taste for Equestrianism she was hooked

How the "get back up the horse mentality" has helped her in every area of her life

That even though she only had Timmy a short amount of time she decided to give applying for The Grassroots Rider Academy a go

The difference she noticed while competing in the academy to competing at shows and how supportive everyone was

The importance of having a support system around you who can help you when you need it, even if you don't want to admit it

We then talk about the heartbreak of not being able to breed from her first Horse Hattie and how it was like a loss of her own when she couldn't get in foal

How Megan really fell out of love with riding but getting Timmy changed it all

We come back to the Rider Academy and what it was like being interviewed and the difference she found from the start of the journey to where she is now

How life has changed for her since the Rider Academy and the drive she gets now people are acknowledging all the work she puts in

That she still gets negative comments here and there but if they aren't doing better than her she ignores them

We finish by speaking about what Megan plans for the future and even though she had had some setbacks shes making the most of all the time she has
