The Grit program is a phenomenal opportunity to train alongside like-minded and dedicated riders in addition to having the opportunity to learn from highly experienced coaches. The Grit program is a wonderful opportunity to develop into a better athlete both on and off the horse, by providing athletes with the skills required to excel at the top level of the sport. I am so incredibly thankful to have the opportunity to take part in the Grit program this year and I hope to learn valuable knowledge and build connections with others that will help me develop into a more experienced, well-rounded athlete.
