This year I’ve brought one student to the Dover Saddlery/USEF Hunter Seat Medal Final, Annalise Manoog.

Annalise has had a great season. She won her […]
In 2017, Marin Gilliland sat in the stands of the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park watching the ASPCA Maclay Final, mesmerized as rider after rider laid down beautiful trips. “I just watched round after round, and my parents were like, ‘OK Marin can we go back to the hotel?’ and I was like, […]
