Well this is my 2025 exit video. God I had no idea what was coming for me this year. After losing my vision I never thought I’d ride again, nevermind ride and train horses like I am today.

I didn’t quit
I didn’t fail.

2025 ✨✨

Where do I even begin? While this year came with its struggles, it also gave me so many incredible memories.

The year began with marrying my incredible wife. We had a beautiful wedding surrounded by people who love us and care about us. It is a day I will hold close forever.

This year also brought a huge milestone as we finally moved back into our home after the house fire. Nearly two years of waiting, rebuilding, and uncertainty came to an end.

I was accepted into Guide Dogs for the Blind and am now on the waiting list for my next partner. This year, I have started to truly accept that my vision loss will not improve. Instead of fighting it, I have learned to embrace it and live fully with what I have left.

Not everything was easy. I lost my childhood dog of more than 18 years. She was the one who opened the door to my love of dog training, and every time I work with any of my dogs, I think of her.

On the riding side, while Duke has been lame on and off, we still had an incredible spring and summer. He gently brought me back into riding and helped rebuild my confidence. He also tried his hand at being a lesson pony.

This year also brought so many opportunities to ride and work with horses, something I always dreamed of but once thought was impossible. In just the last 8+ months, I have accomplished goals I never believed I could reach and set new ones I once thought were completely out of reach.

I have ridden more than I have in years, and I am truly in my element. I honestly cry when I think about how this is all I have ever wanted. After so many incredibly hard years with my health, I feel like I am finally living again. Chronic illness never disappears, but I am making up for lost time in ways I never thought I would.

I can only imagine what 2026 will bring. The year of the horse. I have so many goals and plans, and I cannot wait to see where it takes me.

Here is just a handful of memories from this year. I wish it would let me add more to this post! 🥰
