Nicole Pietrafeso interview upon being inducted into the NYCHA Hall of fame:
To say I’m honored to be inducted into the NYCHA Hall of Fame is an
understatement. This was by far one of my biggest goals as a youth
competitor and I couldn’t have achieved it without the help of so many. I
first want to thank my parents for all of the long drives, late nights and
early mornings we spent traveling to shows. Not only that but for providing
me with the incredible horses I’ve had the privilege of showing. My
boyfriend Seth who has been by far one of my biggest support systems. My two
little sisters who have been another one of my biggest support systems and
for always being the ones that cheer the loudest. My Uncle Mike for hauling
us when my parents couldn’t and to not only him but my cousin Jason and my
Aunt Vicki for everything they’ve done. The rest of my family who have
supported me at shows, especially my older brother Steve who traveled all
the way down to Fort Worth with us to watch me get inducted. My trainer Nate
Miller who has taught me so much, helped me out, and has truly been like
another older brother to me. Everyone who ever sat in my corner or turned me
around. And finally to the few amazing horses I showed as a youth
competitor. Gun Slingers Mate aka “Checker” as my first cutting horse who
carried me to multiple finals and always stepped it up each year I advanced.
And Purely Badger aka “Diva” who is one of, if not the best horses I’ll ever
have the opportunity to swing a leg over. From carrying me to multiple
finals, to 4 world finals qualifications, 3 of which finishing in the top
10, to youth championships, to a national championship, and so many others.
This organization means the world to me and I am beyond blessed to have been
selected for such an honor.
