Retirement hardly means slowing down for Bonnie Stedt of Pine Plains, N.Y. The 61-year-old former executive vice president of human resources for American Express now pursues her passion--eventing--full-time.
At the Fitch's Corner Horse Trials, Aug. 6-7 in Millbrook, N.Y., Stedt beat a field of 40 riders, many of them half her age, to win the USEA Area I Novice Championships on her 9-year-old, Irish-bred gelding, Clancy Himself. She also finished fourth on Jasmina, her 10-year-old, Holsteiner mare.
