My name is Hannah; I'm 16 years old and currently a junior in high school (although I cannot wait to get out of my craphole of a school and go to college). I have been riding horses for 9 years (3 years competing hunter/jumper, 5 years competing dressage, 1 year recreational riding both Western and English -- yeah, I've been around the board, haven't I?). The center of my life right now (besides the crazy junior year) is Project RIDE, a therapeutic horseback riding program where I volunteer 4-6 days a week. I'm working on getting my Instructor's Certification with NARHA. Oh, and the love of my life is Ranger (featured in my avatar and the Why Girls Love Horses preview photo), who my parents literally sold out from under me. I still haven't quite forgiven them for that.

As for my arts, I was primarily a writer of angst teen poetry, although lately I have been delving into different types of prose. My photography is pretty primitive, and I'm experimenting a lot with that and my camera, which is a traditional film camera made in 1986. Any constructive criticism on my work is always appreciated.
