THE END OF MY FIRST WINTER CIRCUIT AS A PROFESSIONAL

I was really happy with how my first winter circuit as a new professional ended.
Just like my days as a junior catch rider, many mornings started before six a.m. and ended quite late in the evening. Yet, the days had a new and an additional aspect to them, I was responsible for helping other riders and customers, and assisting my superiors, in and out of the show ring as part of a management team.

The last four weeks of the the circuit, I was privileged to show a young gelding, named Countdown, in the six year old young jumper division. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the owners and professionals who asked me to ride their horses during the circuit. Looking back on my first WEF as a young professional, I was very lucky to have supportive family, friends, coworkers, trainers and superiors.

I will be staying in Wellington for three more weeks, working at the Equestrian Sport Productions, 2008 Spring Circuit (formerly Littlewood). Then, I will return to the Northeast, and the Garden State Horse Show, Sussex, NJ, will be our first show back at home.

Recently, someone asked when I was planning to start college. I will begin attending Rutgers University this fall and will continue to work while in school.

Thank you for all your comments and continued support.
Talk to you soon!

do you realize what the price tag on a horse that shows- let alone WINS at devon or indoors would be... I'd get a trainer first

We have lots of for horses sale all the time like the ones that win!
I am currently showing an Imported Dutch. That has qualified for indoors this season and placed in WIHS and Devon last year. He is super sweet and has such a loving personality. He is priced at around $250,000...im not bragging I jsut want you guys to realize that people dont want to advertise this kinds of horses to the public.
Therefor you should have a trainer that has references and has a good cliental list. I am very, very
gratefull to be always showing amazing horses and training ponies.
I do not mean to offend anyone so dont be rude to me or others!

hey maria i'm also a young pro, just wanted to know if you know how to get sponsors

yes, maria, if you could do a topic on sponsers it'd be great! like what exact expenses they typically finance, how to get them (or what they look for in your experience), if they are any downsides, etc. thanks:)

to the people who want sponsors...
it all starts through a trainer, with a good trainer who recognizes your hard work and talent, they will help you get sponsors. call tack shops and feed stores in your area, and ask if they would be willing to sponsor. first though you have to be at a pretty high level of competition
