When I grow up I want to be....Reed Kessler!

I think every young girl or young women's dream is to grow up to be Reed Kessler.  She has the fashion, an equestrian facility, beautiful horses, Olympics and Grand Prixs under her belt, and the joy of traveling around the world with her ponies to compete.

Her home in Lexington, Kentucky is 150 acres just a few miles down from the Kentucky Horse Park.  It features barns, pastures, a riding area with ESI footing, and a derby field.  Wouldn't be too bad to work here would it?

I imagine the horses that live at Kessler Show Stables are pretty happy, including Reed's Olympic mount Cylana, a 10-year old chestnut mare.  To read more about Cylana go here:  http://www.kesslershowstables.com/cylana.html

And there are more beautiful horses for Reed to ride.  Check out Reed's 2013 Team:


With all these wonderful mounts a rider has got to look good, Reed has that covered thanks to her sponsors; Butet SaddlesOgilvy (Shock resistant saddle pads), GPA Helmets, and 
Alessandro Albanese riding clothing.




So what is Reed doing right now?  Well, probably riding horses or working out at the gym (yes, you need to work out to ride at that kind of level).  Besides the normal everyday stuff she also had a recent July win on Wolf, a 10-year-old Warmblood gelding by Numero Uno x Peter Pan owned by Iron Works Partners, at the Spruce Meadow's $50,000 LaFarge Cup.
