Teaghan and Quicksilver

Showcasing this stunning pair today - Teaghan and Quisilver (barn name: Django). They were the recipients of a well deserved giveaway, where they were nominated by their peers. Teaghan was nominated for being an outstanding horse-woman, always putting her horse first and being a valuable member of her team. They are photographed here showing in Children's and Performance Hunters in her last year as a junior rider.

Q: Teaghan, what specific goals do you have for this year's show season?

A: This year marks an exciting transition for me as I move into the adult amateur division for the first time. One of my main goals is to build confidence in the derby ring and develop a stronger, consistent performance over more challenging courses. I’m also looking forward to stepping out of my comfort zone by competing out of province for the first time this summer. Throughout the season, I want to focus on having fun with my horse and enjoying the ride!

Q: Who are your biggest equestrian influences or role models?

A: My biggest equestrian influence would definitely be my mom. She shared her love of horses with me from a very early age and has been my biggest supporter ever since. She’s always encouraged me to try new things and never give up, no matter the challenge. My mom is the hardest worker I know, constantly going above and beyond to make sure I never miss out on opportunities or chances to learn from new people. She has shown me what true dedication looks like, and I look up to her in all aspects of life.

Q: What do you enjoy doing when you're not training or competing?

A: When I'm not training or competing, I love spending time at the barn doing chores and caring for Django. I also really enjoy hacking through the trails, as it is a chance for both my horse and I to relax and take all the scenery in.
