About
Charlotte grew up riding in the beautiful Garden State. Learning to ride in such a horse-rich environment fostered a love of the animal and the sport. After competing as a junior in the hunters on the east coast, traveling to Vermont, New York, and Florida for shows, Charlotte attended college in the heart of horse country in Lexington, Kentucky. During college, Charlotte was a working student for Findlay’s Ridge, under the tutelage of Val Renihan, getting to work with industry professionals such as Todd Minikus and Keri Kampsen and participate in the top of the sport nationally. The experiences instilled a love of young horses, and attention to detail at the highest levels of competition.
