Elly is a teenage equestrian influencer on social media. Her horses are her life, sort of. Elly has what is known as an invisible chronic illness. She looks like a normal, healthy teen, but chronic vomiting syndrome keeps her limited. It causes her to experience low blood sugar, which in turn affects her energy levels. One of the things that keeps Elly’s spirits up is the silly antics of her horses.

She turned her back for a second when her silly horse took advantage of an unattended hoodie. Grabbing the pink sweatshirt, the horse proceeded to dance, prance, and have a grand old time. Finding the positive aspect, Elly captioned the video, “At least he nailed the pirouette.”
When Elly is not practicing her equestrian skills, she spends time creating digital artwork. Her horses are a frequent drawing subject. If you’re on the family’s Christmas card list, you might get an Elly original with your holiday message!
Equestrian riding is a lot of work. Elly works with several animals, training them and riding in competitions. When we watch an equestrian competition, we don’t see what happens in the training arena. Elly shows a lot of the behind-the-scenes work she does with her horses, both in and out of the saddle. She isn’t shy about showing the downside, too, like when her horse “yeets” her off for no good reason.
If you have someone interested in dressage riding or show jumping, Elly & Amaretto is a great TikTok page to follow. This teen is well-grounded, providing real-life information about all aspects of the two sports. She shares the silly antics when her horses are playing and the serious moments when they are competing.
