My name is Olivia Tamburro, and I am a 17-year-old junior rider. Before my 18th birthday, I am required to take the U.S. Equestrian Federation’s SafeSport training. This is a good thing. I am so glad I live in a time where people are encouraged to speak about their experiences and help rid the world […]
This adult amateur took her trainer’s injured gelding from retirement to her first Grand Prix. When Liza Broadbent loaded Victorious onto her trailer four years ago, it seemed like their horse show years were behind them. Broadbent and her husband Chris Broadbent already had two unrideable horses pastured at their farm in Middleburg, Virginia—a mare […]
The U.S. Equestrian Federation announced July 17 that McLain Ward has withdrawn Contagious for the Lima 2019 Pan American Games. The 10-year-old German Sport Horse gelding owned by Beechwood Stables LLC, sustained an injury and will be unable to compete at the games. As a result, Lucy Deslauriers and Hester, Lisa Deslauriers’s 14-year-old Belgian Warmblood […]
Kasey Perry-Glass and her sister, Holly Perry Gorman, have shared a love of horses for as long as either of them can remember.

But the following day, the 35-year-old rider entered the same horse in the ‘Reach for the Sun’ Derby, where the […]
“You can’t have it all.” It’s a sentiment that often comes up when discussing whether a woman can successfully balance her personal and professional lives without sacrificing mightily in either category. Dr. Karley Koch says she has often heard the same sentiment when she tells people she’s juggling riding with her second year as a […]
We’ve heard about all of the major stars in the equestrian world and read about their journeys to success, but what about those of us who haven’t made it yet? Maybe you don’t have lots of medals, and maybe you can’t compete because you’re barely paying off vet bills and are just waiting for the […]
When Stephanie Bulger bought Hemingway five years ago, the green horse wasn’t as cool, calm and collected as he is now. “He was a little more nervous,” said Bulger, Long Island, New York. “He would over-try a little bit, and then he would get himself a little worried. But [trainer] Karen [Caristo is] famously extremely […]
It’s hard to miss Symantha Melemed as she’s galloping around cross-country with CCS Aragorn and CCS Thorin. The adult amateur eventer has a passion for Knabstruppers, and she’s enjoying bringing attention to the breed in the United States. “I like being an ambassador for the breed,” she said. “Every time I ride I have the […]
