From the time I rode on the back of a pony at my family's riding club as a child, horses have been my life-long partners.
My encounters with many horses have connected me with many people and opened the door to the world, a great stage for me. From now on, I would like to contribute to the future of the people, cities, and horses that have nurtured and supported me, and to give back to those that have guided me.
