Ariane Stiegler, president and founder of the Amateur Rider Association of America, wants to draw attention to the issues specific to amateur competitors and implement changes to benefit them. This year she’s made progress in this goal by working with horse show management at the Winter Equestrian Festival (Fla.) concerning specifications in the amateur-owner jumpers. She’s concerned about discrepancies in fence height between divisions, as well as an ever-growing class size.
