Help Me Achieve My Dream of Competing at NAYC

Meet Bella.

For the past 6 years Bella and I have been working together with the goal of competing at the North American Youth Championships. Blood, sweat and tears, and thousands of dollars later, we have been nominated for the Region 3 team.

I left my hometown in a remote county in Northern California two and a half years ago, and moved all the way to Ocala, Florida to chase my dreams. Despite the small size of our Humboldt County dressage community, I had the opportunity to be coached by amazing trainers, and to reach the place I am now.

Please help me achieve my lifelong goal! I am a nominated athlete for the North American Youth Championships - the equivalent of the Dressage Junior Olympics. This is beyond my wildest dreams. Now the reality comes in. The cost of getting myself, my trainer, and my horse across the country is significant. We have a goal of setting out to raise $10,000 which should cover the majority of the trip. This competition is a dream come true, which is why I am asking for your help.

This fundraiser is being held with the goal of helping me get to NAYC. The competition will take place on August 8-13 in Traverse City, Michigan. Viewing is available to the public if you would like to see us compete live. Once I receive information about the live stream, I will be sure to share it.

Thank you for your support! I truly wouldn't be able to achieve this dream of mine without it. I'll be posting daily updates of our journey and experiences at the competition on my Instagram and Facebook for anyone who wants to follow us, or get an inside look at the amazing competition that is NAYC. We are looking forward to a great show!

Sincerely,

Celsiana William.
