My guest this week is 17 year old Emma Reichow who is been having a bumper year in the equitation and jumping arenas. Together with the nine year old Dutch Warmblood mare Forever Alve won the Neue Schule/USEF Junior Jumper Championship at Harrisburg Show.  Emma already won a team silver and finished fourth individually at the Adequan/ FEI North American Young Rider Championships this year.  She also won the  $5,000 Equitation Challenge at Temecula Valley National Horse Show and last year she won the prestigious R.W. Mutch Equitation Championship. This year Emma finished third in the championship.  Emma was born in Texas and moved to the Philippines when she was two where she learned to ride before moving to Menlo Park in Northern California where she trains with Harley and Olivia Brown.  With five horses in work, three of them at FEI level Emma has found form which she hopes she will carry over to the Washington International this week before they head to Kentucky for the National Horse Show.  Chris Stafford spoke to her before she headed back east to round off the fall season.
