Mollie has been with the Chronicle since 2007 and writes mainly news and features about the hunter/jumper circuit.

She grew up training with SBS Farms in Buffalo, N.Y., showing in hunters and equitation, and worked for Susie Schoellkopf and Jen Alfano for several years after graduating from the writing seminars program at Johns Hopkins University (Md.).

She lived in Europe and Brazil before settling in Middleburg, Va., where she lives with a (theoretically) rotating slate of foster cats and hunts with Piedmont Fox Hounds.
