Biography:

Arianna Almeida began riding at the age of four when a guest at her parents’ B&B suggested they come and watch his Hanoverian sale. As soon as Arianna petted one of the horses, hearts allegedly sprung out of her head and all she could talk about was riding! Arianna rode all throughout high school, eventing through the preliminary level. She bought her amazing horse Drummer’s Call (“Ringo”) at the end of her time at Cornell University and was fortunate to become a working student for four star eventer Mikki Kuchta. Ringo and Arianna tackled the preliminary level together and then got the amazing opportunity to become a working student for Jennie Brannigan. That fall, the pair won three preliminary events and then placed first at Chattahoochee CIC* by 9 points. Since then, Arianna and Ringo have successfully moved up to intermediate, placing 3rd at GMHA and 4th at Full Gallop. Arianna hopes to tackle a CIC** this summer and gallop Ringo around Fair Hill International CCI** this fall.

I always felt like Ben and I were supposed to do something great together. We had such incredible success when I was young, but Ben's eventing career ended prematurely due to injury. At age 20, I have pulled Ben out of retirement for the third time to be my Para partner. He will be the first to admit that he isn't the fanciest warmblood out there with long, floaty steps but he will never spook and he is a very good mudder! This is my first year as a Para rider and "Saint Ben" is absolutely perfect. He has an incredible presence in the ring and metronome paces and that makes it easier for me to be more accurate in my tests, which actually holds a lot of weight in the Para tests. I am thankful to be able to try and fulfill my lifelong riding goal with Ben as my partner.
