PROFILE
Making of a Five Star Horse and Rider
My mount Elfenwind sold to a young rider October of 2016 and come January 2017, I traveled abroad in search of my next partner, accompanied by my longtime mentor and trainer, U.S. Olympian Gina Miles. We traveled to Ireland and attended the Monart Horse Sale in Limerick where I viewed hundreds of prospects. I kept in contact with my home veterinarian, Dr. Jamie Textor as she reviewed X-rays in a more thorough fashion, consequently many desired horses were eliminated in this phase. I also had the experience of riding at many top Irish yards, Ringwood, Ballingowan, Sportsfield and Greenfort to name a few. Our next stops we met up with Kathy Hormann in Germany and Austria. I admired the professional and organized way their farms were run, in complete consideration of the horses welfare and soundness. I was able to hone in on a few top prospects and would head home and await thorough vet checks of my top picks. Upon arriving home I continued my search for sponsorships and was beyond fortunate to have Chase Chevrolet join my Team. Their generous donation has allowed me to purchase and import my top pick. Rogadina, a 2012 mare by Olympic Fire x Sandro x Landgraf I. Rogadina and I have been laying the groundwork with Five Star Rider British Coach, James Alliston, who has guided us successfully to the FEI CCI-2 Star level. Rogadina is extremely scopey, brave, and has all the makings of a five star horse with Olympic and International potential.
NCAA DIVISION 1 EQUESTRIAN ATHLETE - UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT DAVIS
Being a NCAA/EA collegiate student equestrian athlete at the University of California at Davis was very different from my individual competitive riding experiences. I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Managerial Economics which is also a STEM degree with a strong emphasis on advanced mathematics, so managing my riding time with my studies was of paramount importance.
MOORE EQUESTRIAN
I wanted to share my expertise with young riders, so they could experience the unencumbered feeling of riding outside and feeling the bond with a 1200-pound animal. I have made available in my community an affordable way young girls can experience horses without having to be in a costly equestrian program. My sister and I offer English riding lessons, and two Equestrian Summer Camps, with a cap of 20 girls per camp.
CA HORSE RACING BOARD EXERCISE RIDER
Racehorses have their own personal riders to develop skills needed to race and keep them in top physical condition. I started exercising race horses at the Pleasanton Horse Racetrack summer of 2015. I was fortunate to be able to jump right in and not have to start at the bottom because of my advanced riding abilities. I worked diligently and received my California Horse Racing Exercise Rider License.
