We are so excited to meet these new ladies that are going to run this weekend. Next up is Victoria Nader!
So, Victoria, inquiring minds want to know……
How old are you?
I would rather not say my age. However, I will say that my horse is older than I am. 🙂
Who are you riding?
2. I am riding my mare Nemesis. She is a 19-year-old (20 in June, which makes her a Gemini) Anglo-Arab (3/4 thoroughbred 1/4 Arab). My little bomb proof pony is 14.2. She’s done just about everything from hunter to carting and western pleasure to jousting.
Where are you coming from?
My pony and I are coming from the corn fields of Greenville Oh.
How long have you been riding aside?
I’ve been riding sidesaddle now for five years.
Are you a foxhunter and if so, who do you Hunt with?
I am a fox hunter, but I have yet to do so aside. I hunt with the Miami Valley Hunt located in Urbana Oh
What do you love most about riding aside?
While I love just about everything about riding aside, I must say the average person’s reactions are my favorite. I must admit I love when an astride rider says I can’t do something aside, and I then go to prove them wrong.
What do you do when you’re not riding?
As of the moment, I am finishing up my senior year of high school while working a part-time job as a waitress. I’ll be attending Midway university as a full-time student starting this fall.
What are you most looking forward to this weekend?
I’m excited for the weekend as a whole! However, I’m most excited for the race itself, when else am I going to have the chance to run against these ladies! I’ll admit, it is a bit intimidating, though.
Chasing a Fox wishes Victoria and Nemesis good luck on race day!
