Every amateur rider will relate to Cullen Drescher’s story.
The pursuit of a dream to ride in the bigger classes while trying to fund it with another full time career. Throw a child and partner into the mix and it really gets interesting.
Cullen’s secret superpower is her ability to focus in on the task at hand to the exclusion of everything else around her. Her other gift is that she truly loves her horses and people and if you are in her inner circle , you are family .
She was raised with a deep respect for hard work and genuine care for those in her community. I believe those characteristics have contributed to her success in both her law practice and as a competitor in the ring.
She is quick to acknowledge that she doesn’t have it all figured out and that there are many days when she is humbled but she is also driven by a belief that she can achieve the goals she has set for herself.
She is also the first to admit that she couldn’t do any of this if she she didn’t have a trainer who is as committed to her goals as she is.
I hope that you will be as inspired as I was to continue to chase your dreams no matter how old you are.
