4. Acing the Equitation with Ellie Ferrigno

If you've watched any equitation finals in recent years, you've definitely heard Ellie Ferrigno's name. But she is a seasoned competitor in all three rings, having claimed the Overall Grand Championship in the 3’6’’ section of the 2019 USEF Junior Hunter National Championships – East Coast, the 2019 Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Finals – East, and most recently taking third in the 2020 USHJA Gladstone Cup Equitation Classic - East, presented by Intermont Equestrian at Emory & Henry College. We caught up with Ellie a few days after the Gladstone Cup, amidst the stabling in Traverse City, to chat about her successful junior career and what the future holds.

Thank you to Brian Bowman for the theme music!
