I admit it. I’ve got the pony loving affliction-addiction. Gimme all the teeny, typey, dishy heads. Luckily, I have five kiddos to fulfill my pony dreams, and we own our own little barn.

Throughout my career, riding for the team was always the end goal, be it at the Olympics or world championships or throughout the year at Nations Cups. It’s been the most satisfying part of my career. We always say that we put the United States first, and then other things take care of themselves. It was a good guiding principle, and one we impart onto our students.

When Molly Duda’s eventing partner Lilly became injured, she wasn’t sure what the next step would be for her equestrian goals.
