“I love to compete and see how other people
ride. I love the classics and getting the scores
so you can improve. We bath, tack, ride,
the whole deal,” she says about horse care
responsibility. For luck, she wears a horse
charm necklace that her trainer Kristin gave
her at her frst A show and her access WIHS
bracelet all the time.
Sarah started with the beginner package at
Stoneridge Farm, ten minutes from her house,
under instructor Kristin Campbell and trainer
Katie Huber. She’s also received help from
trainer Winn Alden at shows and Bill Schaub
from Over The Hill Farm in Florida at Pony
Finals. She currently trains with Jenny Graham
at Cedar Creek Farm, Sterling, Virginia.
Ribbons and Rapport
Ribbons don’t matter when the rapport
means so much more. Sarah’s favorite
moments at Pony Finals were walking out
of the rings after both trips knowing she and
Cody did their best together. They put in two
polished, confdant rounds, had their name in
lights, added a splash of color and took part in
the great pony mecca.
The poignant part of ponies is letting go
when the rider outgrows their partner but
Sarah appreciates the learning curve a wise
pony can offer. “Looking back on our journey,
I see how far I’ve come as rider, how much he
trusts and respects me and how much we’ve
accomplished. I hope Cody can teach another
kid not to give up.”
