14 Year Old Lizzie Snow WINS Open Prelim at Caber Horse Trials

 

 

Portland, Ore.   Armed with a mere 14 years of life experience, a passion for riding, and one very cool horse aptly named ÒJoe CoolÓ, high school freshman, Lizzie Snow, of Portland took on some of her regions best and won! Competing against 24 seasoned veterans in the Open Preliminary division at the Caber Horse Trial in Onalaska, Washington on August 25-27, Lizzie and Joey came out on top. (The minimum age one must be to compete in the open division is 14.)

Lizzie comes from a long line of equestrians. She is the daughter of Gallops Saddlery co-owner, Diane Dimon Snow and Dan Snow   Diane rides and events along side her daughter. Lizzie's grandfather played polo as a boy and her aunt events with her as well.  There is no question, riding is in her genes. 

Lizzie attends La Salle High School. She plans to do a one star event in the spring with Joe Cool and is competing her mother's 9 year old thoroughbred while she is recovering from a knee injury.  After riding for two weeks this summer on the east coast in the Southern Pines, NC, with Olympic rider John Williams and mentor Rachel Jurgens, Lizzie aspires to head east again to continue her eventing career.  When pushed about her plans, Lizzie will disclose her quiet ambition to someday represent the United States in international equestrian competition.  That plan also includes college according to her parents!
