Izzy has this to say, “After leasing her since the beginning of the year and after our successful world show, I have really created a special bond with Taya- she is a kind soul who really wants to please all. She has accomplished so much with so many riders- I am blessed to now call her mine! Thank you to my amazing parents who support my passion of showing horses.”
