Ellie Howells has been riding since the age of 2. She has extensive experience with a wide variety of horses, from restarting OTTBs to competing in high-level performance hunter divisions. Ellie often shows in all three rings and has a solid foundation in dressage. She has gained invaluable catch-riding experience and has ridden for many professionals on the A and AA circuits. In 2023, she was accepted into the Emerging Athletes Program and had the opportunity to ride alongside Julie Winkel.
Mylie Easterling has been riding since the age of 5. She owned and competed with her own horse by the time she was 12.
