Kickin' up Dust!
Kickin' up Dust!
I am Emily Jane Richards, passionate horse advocate, Barrel Racer dedicated to sharing my journey and experiences and helping those in my sport and beyond. My personal profile showcases my interests, skills, and the adventures that have shaped who I am today and where I am going!
I am a Sophomore in high school and dual-enrolled in Germanna College, taking courses to become a veterinary assistant. I intend to major in Equine Science and Veterinary Medicine. I am currently looking at universities with strong rodeo teams.
I was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a complex type of congenital heart defect (CHD) that is present at birth. I had 2 heart procedures before I turned 6 months old. I have had 2 additional procedures with my last one taking place last rodeo season. Not only do I want to show those with a CHD diagnosis that the only boundaries that you have are the ones YOU put in place, but I also want to continue to advocate and raise awareness for those less fortunate to have access to the care and support I have had throughout this journey.
