Meet #TeamARMATEQ!: USA
Meet Cristina!
Hi I’m Cristina and I’m from North Carolina but lived in Canada till I was 7. I have been riding for almost 12 years and currently compete in the jumpers with my mare, Studd’s MoneyPenny aka Penny. I also show in the equitation on other horses and was most recently 8th in the NCHJA Children’s Medal finals on a horse I meet the day before! I’m aiming for the 1.10s with my mare before I graduate high school in the spring and then plan to continue to ride and compete through college. I’m so excited to be a part of #TeamARMATEQ!
Meet Blaire!
Hi! I’m Blaire, and i’m so excited to be a part of #TEAMARAMTEQ! I am originally from Bermuda but recently started showing in the USA. I have a large gray pony named Lollipop, and we just finished competing at Pony Finals in the large green devision. I also just imported a horse from Germany named Gentely. I am planning on doing the 3’3 equitation on him as well as the hunters. I hope in the future to be able to compete in Junior Hunter Finals as well as Hamel Finals and Jump Seat Finals.

From hunter breeding at Devon to Upperville under the oaks, we have done amazing things together.

Hi, i’m Emersen Ripley and I am so excited to be apart of the armateq team. I have had a passion for horses and this sport for most of my life. I own two horses, Neptune and Enzo.
