Your favorite horsey YouTube star shares a day in the life while reporting from the CHIO Aachen World Equestrian Festival.

Wow, this year has been a whirlwind for me! You won't believe how many videos and how much content I've created for social media. I even published two books and kicked off my very own podcast. And guess what? I've been trotting all around the world to some amazing horse shows.

So, in this chat, I want to spill the tea on what it's like to be part of the action at one of the biggest horse shows ever: the CHIO Aachen World Equestrian Festival in Aachen, Germany. The event runs from late June through early July.

Let's gallop into a day in the life at this fancy international show.

MORNING 

6:00 AM: Rise and shine! It's an early start for me because today is all about the Nations' Cup jumping event. Teams from all corners of the globe, including the USA, are going hoof to hoof in the arena. It's like the headliner event of the whole festival. I gobble up a quick breakfast and then primp my hair and makeup. Since I'll be glued to social media all day, I've gotta look my best.

7:30 AM: We're off. It's a short drive from my hotel to the event. During this ride, I take some time to clear my head and get psyched for the day ahead. Brace yourself, it's about to be a wild ride!
