An avid equestrian from a young age, Maia has a wealth of experience working with all kinds of horses from ottb's, to upper level event horses, to naughty ponies. In 2014 she passed her USPC H-A certification, one of only a handful of candidates to pass that year. She has competed through prelim eventing, 2nd level dressage, and 1.10m jumpers.
