Kris Di Carlo Equestrian

Up next is Portia and Pam, a partnership that came together this winter and has quickly become such a fun team to watch develop.

We can’t forget about our amazing adult amateurs, and Pam has been such a wonderful part of our winter and spring season with us. Her partnership with Portia has grown tremendously in just a short time.

From a Classic win to multiple blue ribbons in the jumper ring, these two have quickly become a true pair since January. We’re so proud of the progress, confidence, and success they’ve built together and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for them. 🐴✨

Next up is Andre and Dani the sweetest pony with the biggest heart. 🐴

These two have had so much success together, including winning a WEC Derby, earning multiple tricolors, and most recently picking up a Reserve Champion finish in their division.

Dani’s next goal is moving up to a horse while still rocking it in the pony ring, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch her continue to grow as a rider.

We absolutely love this team and all the hard work, confidence, and partnership they continue to build together.

Back from two weeks of showing at Fox Lea Farm, we figured it was the perfect time to introduce you to a few of our horses and riders.

Meet Von a young guy in a big body with an even bigger future ahead of him. Kris and Riley have been putting in the time to carefully develop him, and he continues to improve every trip out. Most recently, Von earned 2nd and 3rd in the Children’s Hunters along with a Reserve Champion finish.

He certainly has big shoes to fill, as Riley’s other horse, Jass, lovingly known as “Banana” helped her earn Reserve Champion in her first 3’6” 15-17 Equitation division, along with a 1st in the Hamel Foundation class and 2nd in the NCEA class.

The goal for Von is to become Riley’s next 3’6” equitation horse, and he’s well on his way. We’re incredibly proud of Riley’s dedication, consistency, and the time she puts into developing these horses both in and out of the ring. 🐴

Happy Birthday, Kris! 🎉

Today we celebrate a true leader, an exceptional head trainer, and someone who brings energy, dedication, and a genuine love for the sport to everything he does.

Kris, you have a way of making every rider feel supported while still pushing them to be their best and always managing to keep it fun along the way. That balance is something not many can master, but it’s what sets you apart.

As you start another trip around the sun, it’s been especially fun to watch you take on your newest role by helping shape the next generation of riders, including seeing you teach Alliana. And that’s exactly what you’re all about… giving your time, your knowledge, and your passion to help others fall in love with the horse and the sport.

We’re lucky to have you, and so are all the riders and horses you impact every single day.

Wishing you a year ahead filled with success, laughter, and plenty of blue ribbons. 🐴

We are excited to welcome Kris’ newest mount, RF Nashville, to Kris Di Carlo Equestrian!

A special thank you to Priscilla Gratton for thinking of our program and connecting us with Nashville, and to for entrusting us with his next chapter.

We would also like to extend our appreciation to Michael Porter of PHD Veterinary Service for ensuring Nashville is a great fit for our team.
As always, we are grateful for the partners who help keep our horses looking good Matthieu Forestier Sellier and properly fueled Sentinel Horse Feed

We’re looking forward to an exciting future ahead with Nashville! ✨

Happy Birthday, Julie! 🎉
We are so grateful for your dedication, commitment, and the care you bring to our riders and horses every single day. Your experience, patience, and passion make a lasting impact on our program. We’re lucky to have you and hope your day was as special as you are!
