Calling all riders with stories!

Hey guys! I am looking for a few courageous people that are willing to share their stories and experiences on a sensitive topic for a school project. I was hoping a few people would be willing to share some pictures that capture a moment when they were proud at a show or clinic, etc. But on the inside were struggling and nobody knew. My goal is to put together a video or slideshow that shows that even the most successful riders struggle with mental illness/ eating disorders in this sport and that needs to change! The equestrian community can be very judgemental and we need to work together to change that. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what size your breeches are or what breed your horse is, what matters is your love for the sport and your horse. All stories shared will be kept anonymous and the audience for this project is a very small class of less than 20. I really appreciate your bravery if you choose to respond. This topic means a lot to me as I too have struggled.
