The organizer of the Rolex Central Park Horse Show and managing partner of one of the largest show operators in the United States explores how to unify and amplify equestrian sports.

In a given year in the United States, there are 8 million people who ski, 23 million people who pick up a tennis racquet, 25 million who swing a golf club, and 27 million people who will ride a horse.   

When the end of August comes around, and someone asks me what I’ll be doing in the next couple of weeks, inevitably the Hamptons always come up. For the third year in a row, I’ll be spending Labor Day weekend at the Hampton Classic, the annual horse show in Bridgehampton, N.Y., known for drawing all kinds of celebrities for its Sunday grand prix.

Hello everyone,

It’s been an amazing few days down here at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Eventing’s just wrapped up, which Michael Jung simultaneously both predictably and incredibly won—on the same horse he rode last time he won individual Olympic gold. I’d ask my editors if we can run the 2012 story in the magazine so Lindsay and I can get a bit of much-needed rest, but I’m picturing an icy stare.
