WELLINGTON THE MAGAZINE – April 2022

YOUNG EQUESTRIAN RIDERS Up-And-Coming Stars Winter In Wellington, Honing Their Skills For Their Future Careers Each year during the winter season, we look to highlight some of the amazing young equestrian riders who bring their future star power to Wellington. Across the next few pages, you are invited to meet some of these talented riders.

With a record number of young equestrians becoming prominent throughout the industry, we are just touching a small handful of this elite group. After rebounding from the challenges over the last two years, many of the up-andcoming rising stars came to Wellington this winter to win at every level of competition and in a wide range of disciplines, from jumping to dressage and polo.

Although young, these riders put in an amazing amount of the time and effort to show with the confidence needed to succeed. It has been great to watch some of these riders grow up right here in Wellington, as well as those who travel from around the globe to compete at the amazing venues that Wellington has to offer.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the four riders profiled here, and many others, as they continue to advance in their arena and hopefully onto the world stage one day.
