The majority of Charlotte’s riding experience has been as a catch rider showing green and sale horses. She began riding at MacNair’s Country Acres when she was 7. At age 11, Charlotte began showing Connemara ponies for Seaborne Farm under Lauren Hill. As a working student, she continued catch riding and showing a variety of horses under Lauren throughout high school. This gave Charlotte the unique opportunity to hone her skills while adapting to the needs of many different rides. Charlotte also had the opportunity to work with notable instructors including Jack Towell, Tori Colvin, and Loren Hazard.  

Charlotte has received many NCHJA awards including 2014 Best Child Rider on a Horse, 2012 Patricia May Sportsmanship Award, 2011 Children’s C Equation Medal Finals winner, and numerous championships in the C through AA show circuit. She has competed in EJ Haun finals, 2012 College Preparatory Invitational in Wellington, Florida and received several NCAA scholarship offers before deciding to stay close to home at ECU where she rode for the IHSA Equestrian Team. After completing her degree, Charlotte began her professional career at Blue Skies Stables as a rider and assistant trainer as well as providing training rides at Finally Farm in Raleigh, NC.
