I am proud; her parents really did an awesome job– they did right by this girl and her passion.  And Ellen had a passion for horses…

Now I hear my cousin Ellen may be a contender in the next summer Olympics!

I don’t know too much about her journey, I just know I love to see all the pictures she posts on Facebook about her eventing adventures. And I wish I had her energy and passion for my own pursuits. 🙂 But I am inspired!
