Sara’s Olympic Journey
Donation protected
Ciao,
I am Sara Sasso Toolin, an Italian dressage rider, trainer, and entrepreneur based in Dallas, Texas.
I started riding horses when I was only four years old and I fell in love with these amazing creatures. My passion took me to Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and all the way to America.
To follow my dreams, it meant I had to leave my country, my family, and loved ones. I have been incredibly fortunate to have met so many amazing and inspiring people along my journey that challenged me to give my best and continue on through challenging times when it would have been so much easier to give up. But I didn’t…and I won’t give up on my dreams.
My life goal is to participate at the Olympic Games as a dressage rider representing my home country, Italy. In doing so, I hope to inspire new generations to believe in themselves and never give up, because dreams do come true!
Unlike other sports, my dance partner is a 1200 lb Andalusian horse, and while stunningly beautiful, he and my goal come with a hefty price tag for competitions, care, training, and travel for the Olympic qualifications and competitions.
I have learned over the course of my life that the really big dreams, like Olympic-level dreams, require a team. And with your support, this dream can come true.
