Anika started her riding journey at 8 years old, at a lesson barn near her home in Uxbridge, Ontario. When she was 12 years old, she moved to Dreamcrest Equestrian Centre, an eventing barn, where she quickly fell in love with the sport. Her passion for eventing continued as she progressed through the levels and spent her time helping out at the barn in any way she could. During this time, Anika worked as a stablehand at Foxfire Equestrian for 4 years and spent a season grooming for FEI dressage rider Andrea Bresee. These experiences have given her a deep appreciation for hard work and the excellence of dressage and eventing.
When Anika graduated high school, she moved to Guelph and took a brief break from riding to focus on her studies. In the year 2020, she began riding again on a wonderful thoroughbred gelding named Junior, whom she part-boarded for 3 years. While at the University of Guelph, Anika completed a bachelor’s degree in animal biology and has recently completed her master’s degree in animal biosciences with a focus on equine gastric health. She has a special interest in nutrition and enjoys using her knowledge to improve the lives of horses in any way that she can.
While in school, Anika adopted two guinea pigs. Adelaide and Eloise kept her company on long nights studying before she could return to the world of horses. Anika recently adopted a German Shepherd Golden Retriever mix whom she lovingly named Thea. She plans to have Thea be her best barn companion and has begun introducing the puppy to the barn and show environment this summer. Thea loves it so far and is set to be the perfect barn dog that Anika always dreamed of.
Anika enjoyed riding for recreation while maintaining her busy school schedule, but now she is preparing to step back into the eventing world. Anika is now part-boarding Jenn Crawford’s Beau, who she will be introducing to the world of eventing. She cannot wait to return to her passion and is ecstatic to have found such incredible partners in Jenn and Beau.
