The expanded announcement is included below in full:

“I’m at a phase of my life and athletic career where I need to prioritize my future and personal growth. I’m also excited about the opportunity to build new relationships so that I can share that growth freely. (Even though I’m more of a ‘show-er’ than ‘grower,’ but still.)

At the end of the day, the Alabama stable just wasn’t equipped to contain this horse. I’m a thoroughbred, and I need a place that will let me run free.

I would like to reinforce my gratitude to Alabama for giving me this opportunity, especially the DeBoer family, and even more specifically Alexis. I’ll be sure to reach out and send you some pics when I find out where I’m going to end up. Stay tuned!”
