The Story of a Rising Eventer

Since I first sat on a horse at the age of six I have known that riding and training horses was what I was meant to do. I was fortunate to grow up in my beautiful home state of Vermont, where riding was a fairly accessible sport. 

 

My introduction to eventing came with my time as a student under Olympic eventing judge, Jane Hamlin. With her excellent guidance I competed in my first recognized USEA horse trials at the age of 13. Jane then not only coached me through my first preliminary and FEI level events, she also gave me my first taste of working student life, when I worked for her after graduating high school in 2018. 

 

Jane connected me with my current eventing partner, the 17h gelding Frostbite — or Frosty as he is know around the barn. I imported Frosty from Ireland as a 4 year old and started his career as an eventer, bringing him up through levels. In the years since, this amazing Dutch warmblood has shown all the makings of a truly exceptional upper level horse. 

 

In early 2019 it was time for me to spread my wings beyond the Green Mountain state. Jane connected me with Sharon White, and with my family’s support I made the move to the heart of the equestrian community on the East Coast, Since joining Sharon’s team I have learned to master the ins and outs of the eventing business. 

 

As Sharon’s assistant trainer I have gained extensive knowledge and experience both on and off the horses. We divide our time between Summit Point, West Virginia, and Ocala, Florida. My days are spent working with Sharon’s string of upper level horses and her promising new projects, managing our working students, and giving lessons.  

 

When I’m not working or competing, I am busy completing my bachelor’s degree in business administration.
