Hello, I'm Michelle Anderson. I'm a burn survivor, equestrian, identical twin sister, daughter, student, and dog mom of my mini Aussiedoodle, Eli.
When I was two years old I was burned on over 91% of my body in a house fire. The doctors said I had a grim chance of surviving, and if I did, I could lose my legs, arms, and eyesight, never walking or talking again. I proved them wrong! Since then I have been in the operating room over 80 times and have endured a lot of therapy and treatments to regain my health. As a young burn survivor I have learned how to navigate life with my scars on my sleeves; I take life by the reins!

After attending a camp for burn survivors in Colorado at age fourteen, I fell in love with horses. I grew up learning how to take care of my horse and other animals, and ultimately fell in love with competing. Being goal-oriented, I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Animal Science - Equine Management and as a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH Intl.) Certified Therapeutic Horseback Riding Instructor in December 2015. I am now an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning and pursuing my master’s degree in Strategic Leadership and Business Administration.

My goal is to combine my love and passion for horses and helping people. Most importantly, I want to empower and inspire others to make the most out of life and be the best version of themselves.
