DEANNA JOHNSTON AND AZZI
Our series of interviews featuring the upcoming riders in the Autumn Run continues. Today's profile is about a wonderful lady in ACTRA, Deanna Johnston.
How many years have you been riding limited distance rides?
"Seven years." (However she's actually been riding since she was "knee high to a grasshopper!)
How many endurance rides have you ridden in?
"Zero! This will be my first. I want to to try it, just so I can say that I've ridden one!"
Tell us about Azzi's background.
I purchased him here in the maritimes as a 7 year old, but he was still very green. You know, he'd gallop but not canter, that type of behaviour. He's an Arabian and he is 13 years old now.
What are your favorite moments of distance riding?
"I enjoy it all. All the types of trail. I love the experience of riding long distances with Azzi. It's a wonderful opportunity to ride for hours upon hours, and to do so in the company of so many good people. I'm happy just to be able to experience this at this time in my life.".
Tell us what you love about Azzi
He is my Pal. I have so much faith in him. He will do whatever I ask of him We have jumped together, done dressage, and eventing. He looks after me. He does his job and he enjoys doing it.
Thanks Deanna for a quick snapshot of your riding and your horse. Best of luck on Saturday October 20th,
