Q&A with Lexi Smith

What surprised you most about building a community on Passes — like, what did you NOT see coming?

I honestly didn't know what to expect, but I definitely didn't expect it to grow as much as it has. I've been really grateful for how many people have reached out and wanted to connect. Getting to chat with and know so many people has been the best part.

What's the most chaotic thing that's happened to you during practice or at a show so far this year?

Probably falling off both of my current horses for the first time. Somehow it all happened within two weeks of each other, right before a competition. It definitely wasn't the confidence boost I was hoping for.

If your life had a theme song that played every time you walked into competition, what would it be?

"Congratulations" by Post Malone. I listed to it before walking into my first major national final after years of training the horse I brought along from the very beginning. Every time I hear it, it reminds me how much hard work, patience, and perseverance it took to get there.

What's one thing about how you approach content now that you wish you'd figured out way sooner?

I wish I'd realized sooner that creating content is way more fun when you stop stressing over the "perfect" posting schedule. Once I started focusing on enjoying it and sharing what felt authentic, everything became so much easier and a lot more fun.

If your daily routine could be sponsored by any brand (real or made up), what would it be and why?

Probably Starbucks. Between early mornings at the barn and long competition days, I'm usually grabbing an iced matcha and bagel at some point, so it's basically part of my routine.

What's a trend everyone seems to love that you just can't get behind?

Super baggy jeans. I know they're in style, but I always feel like I'm drowning in them. I do love a good straight-leg pair, though!

What's a piece of riding advice you got early on that stuck with you?

Don't worry about what everyone else is doing. There will always be someone with more experience, a nicer house, or a bigger budget. Focus on your own progress, work hard, and enjoy it. That's what really matters.

What does a competition-day morning actually look like for you?

My alarm usually goes off around 5AM, and we usually grab Starbucks on the way unless a parent picks it up later. We get the horses out early so they can see the ring and settle in, and then it's nonstop from there. I'm either helping get horses warmed up or getting myself ready to compete. Depending on when we finish, we'll usually do a team dinner at the end of the day, and then we come back for a night check around 8PM to wrap the horses' legs and give them some hay for the night.
