Zoe is the beginner trainer at Champlain Valley Riding Club. A lifelong equestrian, Zoe grew up working and riding at her family’s therapeutic riding center in New Jersey. She also competed in the New Jersey/New York show circuit throughout her Junior years, focusing on bringing along green ponies, taking these skills with her to the University of Vermont IHSA Equestrian team.
