About the Writer

Heather Wallace

Heather Wallace

My name is Heather. I stepped away from horses as a teen due to anxiety and regretted it ever since. Now I'm back but things are a little different now. I'm a mother, I'm less flexible, and I'm a lot more nervous. The biggest difference? I'm following my passion despite lacking confidence.
