"Sisu transcends mere definition; it embodies a lasting spirit that lives within us, particularly within my fellow equestrians. Growing up in the U.S. as a Finnish-American, I've been taught by my family that genuine strength emerges when faced with challenges. This spirit of determination, bravery, and the drive to overcome obstacles becomes most apparent in our toughest times. I witness this same essence in equestrians. We are bonded by a common passion and resilience that shapes our identities. Never giving up. Our true strength comes alive when we have nothing left. THAT is Sisu."
