Leah Chapin, 14, loves horseback riding. So much so that she wants to be a veterinarian. She goes to Steadfast Stables every week or so to ride. She first started horseback riding six years ago, at the age of nine. When asked about her feelings on the subject, she said “I love horseback riding, but when I ride it feels like I am floating.”

Chapin is fourteen years old. She has lived in Roanoke, Virginia her whole life. She has a brother, sister, mother and father, Matthew, Abby, Cheryle and Doug respectively. She has two dogs, both rescues. Her elementary schools were Faith Christian and Cavespring Elementary. Her middle school was Hidden Valley.
