Like many student athletes, Callie Davenport is gifted and hard working. Competing nationally in western pleasure, Callie and her beloved horse Cody have an unbreakable bond. The Ohio rider also intends to become a veterinarian, and has always excelled in balancing her academics with her rigorous training and competition schedule. But in early 2020, everything changed.
Cody, a faithful partner for so many years, went lame during a show. Callie found herself at the start of COVID-19 trying to help him recover, train on a new horse, and keep up with school amid the uncertainties of the pandemic. It was all too much.
MAKING A CHANGE

Realizing how accommodating USPA could be, she raised the idea of online school with her parents. It didn't take long to decide that this was the right option for Callie.
