Meet LAHJA member Sofia Soto! 💫
Sofia recently attended the Las Vegas National Horse Show, where was won the USHJA Affiliate 1.0m Adult Jumper Championship. She loves "how supportive the [LAHJA] community is and how many great opportunities LAHJA gives to their members- such as the ability to compete at the Las Vegas Nationals!" This was Sofia's first time competing at the Las Vegas National and she explains that "everyone was incredibly supportive, the classes were loads of fun, and it was truly an incredible learning experience."
In 2025, Sofia wants to be more competitive, refine her skills, and learn new ones as she pushes past 1.10m classes into bigger ones.
We can’t wait to see all you accomplish in 2025, Sofia!

Meet LAHJA member Kate Csiki! 💫
Kate trains with Michelle Morris at The Clearing Farm. She has ridden her ten-year-old gelding, Edelweiss de Moyon, better known as "E" around the barn, since August. Kate shows in the 2'9" Equitation and Hunter divisions. Outside the barn, Kate works persistently and has been in the digital advertising world doing marketing and sales for 16 years.
Recently, Kate won the LAHJA Bronze 2'9" Medal Final at Gold Coast October. She explains, "It was an incredible feeling, and one that consisted of a lot of hard work paying off." Kate felt the LAHJA Medal Finals were "a roller coaster till the end," as Kate went into the work off in 4th place and came out with the win.
In 2025, Kate looks forward to continuing to build her partnership with "E" and to move up in the Equitation and Hunter divisions.
We look forward to seeing Kate at future LAHJA shows!
