To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Debbie McDonald; I have represented the US in Pan American, World Cup’s, World Equestrian Games and the 2004 Olympics. 

I had the opportunity to meet and work with Holly when I was giving a Young Rider Clinic in Phoenix Arizona. I must say that I was very impressed with her ability to overcome her disability. When I first started out teaching her I was tentative about what I asked of her. After five minutes into the lesson I realized she was as competent as any rider I have ever taught. She has an amazing feel and relationship with her horse. I told her that I have never walked away from teaching, so inspired in my life! Holly is a role model to all Juniors and Young Riders. I think that it would be such a shame if she were not able to have the chance to make the next Para Olympic Games. 

Sincerely,

Debbie McDonald
