Meet Alek & Krystian: Athletes of the Month

Alek & Krystian | 13 years old | Equestrian

This month, we’re celebrating two brothers who jumped into something totally new—equestrian camp. Alek and Krystian had never been around horses before. But by the end of the week, they were brushing, grooming, and riding with confidence and calm.

“It was a little scary at first, but it was also exciting. I learned that horses are actually really gentle,” Alek shared.

“My favourite part was brushing them—and riding through the obstacles, too!” said Krystian.

They didn’t just learn about horses—they learned about focus, patience, and showing up even when something feels unfamiliar.

Their mom said it best:

“Every child learns at their own pace. Trying something new builds confidence—and that’s something to be proud of.”

We’re proud to cheer them on as they keep discovering just how strong, capable, and adventurous they are!
