Ariella grew up on a training and breeding farm, helping her parents raise and gentle horses. From the time she was born, basically, she's been around horses. Her father used to put her in front of him in the saddle and ride around with her on his gelding Trade. At age 6, her parents got her a Welsh cross pony named Dancer. Ariella learned a lot on him-when to sit back, when to urge on, when to discipline, how to ask with all her aids, how to go over a jump and how NOT to go over a jump. Then, when she was 13 they sold Dancer and Ariella's parents told her that when a foal was born and she felt that they could go far and have a bond that would be her horse. A year later, her horse Luna was born on a fresh spring day in April. Ariella knew right away this filly would be hers, and Luna was given to her to train and gentle. 7 years later, Ariella and Luna are the dream team.
When she was 20 years old, Ariella's parents gave her part of their farm (a quite decent chunk, too) and she's been living there since. Ariella runs a breeding and training operation at her farm, Foxtail Grove Equestrian, and she breeds Danish Warmbloods.
