Vianne is an American-bred Hanoverian mare selected to represent the U.S. Paralympic Equestrian Team with Kate Shoemaker for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Vianne was started in the U.S. by Hope Beerling and the pair contested several international young horse championships together before Shoemaker took over the ride as a potential Paralympic candidate in Grade IV. 
 

The pair debuted in their first CPEDI together in Doha in February 2024, earning victories with tremendous scores about the 70% mark. The pair have continued their dominance in Grade IV competition in Europe this spring, including notching a career high 76% in the FEI Para Grand Prix Test A at Manheim in May 2024. In total, the pair have notched 13 career victories together so far and have never finished outside of the top three.
