Brittany Desiderio

"My entire life and equestrian career, I let myself be guided by faith. Through all of my trials and tribulations, I always lifted my heart to God and I was confident that I was being tested and made stronger for all that was yet to come. The darkest nights always get brighter, and the brightest days always get darker. Life ebbs and flows, like the sea. The only way to keep moving forward is to do right by and believe in Him. He has been my strength and salvation through all of my ups and my downs. God isn't good. God is great."
