It has been a long bumpy road for Elizabeth Baroody Grubbs to find that once-in-a-lifetime horse to jump and show and even fulfill her dream of getting her wedding photos taken with, all the while balancing her riding with family and a career. 

Today Elizabeth is a paramedic, working three jobs to pay her horse bills but also living her dream as she shows Finn, her off-the-track-Thoroughbred with a heart of gold. You can find her this spring in schooling shows around Northern Virginia, with her husband setting jumps in the warm-up.
