Hometown: Gig Harbor, Washington
Originally hailing from Gig Harbor, Wash., there were very few barns to choose from when Lizzie decided she wanted to learn to ride. From her first lessons at the local Eventing barn, she was hooked on the sport. After acquiring her horse HSH Limited Edition, she was able to win her first FEI competition and find success at higher levels of the sport. This showed her that although ambitious, her competitive goals were achievable. Since making the move to the East Coast in 2023, she has been able to acquire a small group of horses and achieve several top finishes at the CCI3* level, including reserve champion in the 2024 USEF Eventing Young Rider Championship in the CCI3*-S. She is currently balancing school at Syracuse University with her competition goals and continuing to pursue a spot at the top level of the sport.
