Trains with Robin Schoeller

My name is Opal Fomish. I was born October 7, 2006 in Michigan. I am currently 14 years old and a sophmore in highschool.  I have been riding horses since I was three. I started out with a Shetland pony, riding as much as my parents would let me around the farm. When I turned 4 I started western pleasure and began showing at 5. After a couple years of western pleasure I started to get into reining. I began showing reining in 2014 with my western pleasure horse. In 2015 I started riding and showing my grandma's horse ChicNShine. I have showed a couple other horses since then. I have gone to many different trainers and all of them have helped me improve my riding. In 2017 I started riding with Robin Schoeller and continue to do so. I have made many accomplishments throughout my riding career and learn more than I would have ever thought. I have recently been gifted with an amazing three year old mare that I am so excited to start showing. My family moved down to Florida in 2016 so I have had to travel back and forth from Michigan and Florida to be able to continue to compete. To make it better for me to keep up on my schooling, I started doing Florida Virtual School going on three years now. Outside of reining, I would do 4-H shows in Michigan and many other riding camps. I also did softball for a season. Some of my favorite hobbies to do are fishing, four wheeler riding, and hiking. I can’t wait to see where the future takes me.
