So you are a skilled horseback rider. Should you enter yourself in a horseback riding competition? The answer is yes! There are so many good things these competitions can do for you. If you are a parent with a kid who just learned horseback riding, it might be a good idea to allow him or her to join competitions and explore their full potential.

At an early age, Alicyn Roy developed a life-long passion for horseback riding. Her first experience came at the age of 6 when her grandmother and mother took her to experience pony rides at Griffith Park in LA. Shortly after that, Alicyn began her formal riding training, working at the local horse barn to help pay for lessons. Alicyn now owns a horse names Setero and together they have won a number of championships. Alicyn Roy was crowned as the Champion by the CPHA in the 22 years and older category. Riding Setero, Alicyn not only dominated the CPHA Foundation, but also the SFHJA Challenge, and the LAHJA LA Saddlery Junior/ Senior medals. Alicyn Roy also has a passion for photography and traveling. Photographs of Alicyn’s hot air balloon adventure in Loire Valley, France, were chosen by Conde Nast for the Dream Trip Traveler Contest and featured on their website as a finalist among all of the submissions for the contest.
