Hi! My name is Julia Brown and I am a current junior at the Awty International School in Houston, Texas.
My journey with SIRE began at the end of summer 2022 where I started volunteering weekly as a side-walker. Throughout these past few months, I helped incredibly talented riders achieve their goals, whether that be navigating an obstacle course without a leader or “turbo-walking” with only an ankle hold. The staff, horses, volunteers, parents, and of course riders have given me experiences and perspectives that deepened my love for this sport. From all the big equitation finals to ribbons in Wellington, SIRE has been the most enlightening and gratifying opportunity to date!
I feel an obligation to do everything I can to help make sure SIRE has the resources they need to feed horses, train staff and volunteers, and keep costs for services affordable for families. Will you please join me in supporting SIRE with a financial gift to meet these critical needs? I learned a gift of $21 can purchase a month of hay for one of their 30 horses. A donation of $54 buys a new safety helmet for a rider. Every gift, no matter the size, makes an enormous difference. Click the link below and make your gift today.
