Favorite event: The Sam Edelman Equitation Class and High Junior Jumpers
What got her started: “My mom used to ride as a kid very competitively, and I just saw pictures of her and I told her one day that I wanted to try it and I loved it. So I kept at it.”
On The Hampton Classic: “People from all over the country come to the Hamptons just because it’s such an exciting event, so I can see some of my friends from the show circuit that maybe I don’t get to see every weekend. Being able to see them all there is really fun.”

Age: 18
Event: Junior Jumpers
Favorite event: Jumpers. And a ribbon, he says, is “sort of the highlight of your day.”
What got him started: “My mom rode when she was younger. We went to a carnival and I got on a pony ride and I guess that’s how it all started.”
On The Hampton Classic: “I’m excited because it sort of seems like a different world. Everything is so perfectly manicured; it’s a beautiful grass field. I’m most looking forward to that aspect of it.”
