Meredith is an avid outdoors woman who has never been afraid to get her hands dirty. Softball is her second love to horses. She started her riding career when she was 6 years old, beginning her competitive career as a horsewoman when she turned 8 yrs old. Her parents bought her her first horse "Gigi" when she was 13 years old. Hard work and and determination has been a focus throughout her riding career. At the end of 2017, she hit a crossroad with her horse, frustrated with her struggle to reconnect with her horse. She reached out and began training with professional horsewoman Jessica Flores. It was then that she clicked with Gigi, finding quick speed, smoothness and winning success with her horse in MD High School Rodeo and local barrel circuits. In summer of 2019, she also began competing in mounted shooting iwth her blue roan gelding quarter horse "Spotted Tail Driftin". Meredith understands the importance of patience and perseverance in order to be successful. She shares this knowledge with the riders she teaches and coaches every week.
