Meet LAHJA member Avalon Montgomery! 💫

Avalon trains with Julie Conner-Daniels at . She currently rides her horse named Another Star Z, whom she calls Starzy around the barn. Avalon has had Starzy for just over a year and the pair plans to compete in the 2'9" Hunter and Equitation divisions this year.

Avalon was recently awarded the Overall 2'6" Rider award at the 2024 LAHJA Year-End Banquet. She has been a member of LAHJA for about six years and loves that LAHJA supports "local shows close to [her] home here in LA County." She also appreciates the opportunities LAHJA has for riders to grow. She explains, "I appreciate the opportunities to enhance our critical thinking and teamwork with our horses through [LAHJA] shows that have a positive environment."

In 2025, Avalon wants to focus on Starzy's "intricate skills while building his confidence." She particularly wants to build his confidence, and she loves "going on trail rides especially after a show," as "it's very relaxing and fun."

We can't wait to see and Starzy in the show ring in 2025!

Meet LAHJA Member Jenni Ryan! 💫

Jenni trains with Joe Thorpe at Sovereign Place. She currently rides 9-year-old Pajamas, better known as PJ around the barn. Jenni bought PJ as a 5-year-old and has "enjoyed forging a once-in-a-lifetime partnership with him." She explains that PJ "seems to adapt to whatever ring [they] step into, whether hunters, equitation, or medal classes, which has given [Jenni] the opportunity to develop as a rider in a way [she] never thought possible with a single horse."

Jenni was recently awarded the Overall 3'3"/3'6" Year-End Award at the 2024 LAHJA Year-End Banquet. She has been a member of LAHJA since 2021 and loves how the organization "provides a supportive environment for riders of all ages and skill levels to compete, learn, and grow their passion for horseback riding."

We wish Jenni the best of luck in 2025!
