Why this sport? |
She originally did fencing for fun with classmates, while also competing in equestrian dressage and showjumping at the same time. "At age 12, I had to choose between fencing and equestrian. It was impossible to do both. The financial aspect was a big factor because equestrian isn't really an affordable sport." |
