An honest horse, not a one-rider horse.
In 2026 alone he has jumped 1.45m under four different riders — Jordan, Laura Kraut, Sloane Coles and Carlee McCutcheon. Horses that go for everyone are the ones that go at championships.
A gelding — he can show anywhere, with any rider, and appeals to the widest possible pool of buyers when the day comes.
Jordan Gibbs, 19.
Podium finishes in equitation by fourteen. International results as a junior. This month she and Horlaloi contest their first CSI3* together — before she turns twenty.
- Her mother first — the basics, and the work ethic
- Colorado: Karen Catov-Goodell, Phillip Dreissigacker, Nina Felsenthal
- East: Rita Timpanaro, Stacia Klein Madden, Katie & Henri Prudent
- Several years under Leslie Burr Howard
- Now a working student at Ashland Farms — Ken & Emily Smith, Spencer Smith, Francisco Goyoaga Mollet
Junior and amateur championships to 1.40–1.45m aboard Douwe, JDP Dougland, Ostwind, Clip de la Haye Z and Georgina W — and now Horlaloi.
“Jordan is the real deal. She shows up, she shows grit, and she has never been afraid of the work this takes.”
Not a spectator.
Ringside and in VIP hospitality. Walk the barns. Meet the riders, trainers and owners. See your name on entries, results and announcements — and at the major shows, on the board. When the horse walks into the Grand Prix ring, you are not watching someone else’s horse. You are watching your horse, your rider, your team.
A reason to be there.
People who believe.
The road from talented young rider to the top of international sport is long, difficult and rarely traveled alone. It takes exceptional horses, exceptional training, opportunity — and people willing to stand behind an athlete through the rails as well as the clear rounds. You don’t join only for the victories. You become part of the story that creates them.
