My Goals: My dream is to represent the USA in the 2010 World Equestrian Games.

We had hoped that my Fifth place finish in the North American Junior/Young Rider Championships would have been sufficient to qualify me for the 2008 Paralympic Games, but due to unfortunate phrasing of some rules I was not able to qualify. Though it is sad that I will not have the opportunity to represent the US in Beijing, I realize that I am only 15 and have very many exciting oportunities ahead of me. I appreciate the help I have received from the dressage community in trying to qualify. The support has been overwhelming and will help me go to the World Equestrian Games!

Debbie McDonald, Mary phelps, and Steffen Peters, among others, have been a great help in mobilizing the equestrian community to help Holly make this dream a reality.  Our deepest thanks to them!

So far the response has been great! We have received donations through the Donations Page on this Web site, and we have also received great donation items for an for a successful auction that we held in November 07.   

As we get more information about where the Olympic qualifier will be, and how Holly is doing with reaching her goals, we will post here.
