My name is Hannah Stilwell and I am 16 years old. I am a sophomore at North Central High School. I started riding when I was 3 and started taking lessons at the age of 5 at Falcon Run Farm with Barb Kyler. When I was 6 my mom, Mary Lynn Foster, my sister, Abra Foster, and I decided to change barns and then moved to High Spirit Farm with Kathy Abbott Conflenti. I was addicted from the beginning. There is nothing I love more than a good challenge.

When I was 7 my mom bought us an eye catching mare named Freaky Styley, or Georgia, and she had her first colt five years ago. Merlyn's Intuition, or Merlyn. On Easter of 2004 Georgia had her second colt sired by It’s Hammertime. Ty, is currently in training with Mike McIntosh at Mike McIntosh stables.

I was successful in Academy for many years, winning the Academy pleasure classes in 2001 and 2002, then the winning the Academy Equitation championship class in 2003 at the Indianapolis Charity Horse Show. I have been to many different shows on many different horses, winning many different colored ribbons. But each pass around the ring has made me a better rider.

On the Christmas of 2004 my mom bought my baby. The Hidden Charm. This past summer in 2005 my sister, my mom, and I bought our own farm and moved all the horses home. Since we have moved everyone home we have bought another Saddlebred mare, Maggie May. And a Shetland/halflinger pony, Sam. I am currently working with all our horses. But especially my baby as we prepare for the show season ahead. Look for us at the 4-H shows, in Equitation and Pleasure. Also look for us in the Country Pleasure and Pleasure Equitation divisions.
