Fourteen year old Abby Biter from Sarasota, Florida has been very successful in the Large Green Pony Hunters with her pony, as well as the children's hunters with her horse. Her and her sister together own four horses, two who are ponies. "I really appreciate the bond that riders create with their horses and how the horse learns to trust the rider so he/she does things at the last moment like leaving really long," responded Biter when asked what she appreciates most in the sport. "I love the horses and how the barn becomes your family. Everyone I meet on the road is so nice." Biter looks up to Gia Rinaldi because she gets a lot of catch rides and is an amazing rider. Her favorite place to show is TIEC because "it's amazing and beautiful and compact but spacey." Her goal for this show year is to learn to trust her eye and use what her trainer tells her to help her in the show ring. Biter got into riding and showing because she's always loved horses and her parents owned horses when she was younger. She does online school so she can be on the road 24/7. Biter's advice to anyone who's goal is to be as successful in the show ring as she is, is to "listen to your trainer and try your hardest." She noted that one of her biggest accomplishments was ribboning 6th in her first derby, When asked what her goals are for the near future, Biter responded that she wants to become a better rider and get more catch rides. "I want people to know my name." In the long run, she has hopes of riding in the Olympics.
