Written by guest Pearl Bensimoun Aleece Jarman is an eighteen year old professional rider from Florida. She has been riding since the age of four and shows in the hunters and jumpers. Many know her only from her Instagram which has a following of over a hundred thousand, but she has been taking the A circuit by storm since the her days in the pony hunters. "My dream is to show in a Grand Prix or jumper derby at Spruce Meadows," says Jarman when asked what her riding goals for the future were. Spruce Meadows is a horse show located in Calgary, Canada. "I just love every aspect of being with horses. Showing is fun and I definitely love it but I'm also just as happy when we are at home. It doesn't matter where I am but as long as I'm with horses I'm happy." Aleece's family owns an equestrian facility called Aubrey Hill which is located in Pace, Florida. Jarman believes her biggest riding accomplishment was either being champion and best child rider at the Devon Horse Show or being grand champion at USEF Pony Finals. She sees herself being around horses forever! "My horses, trainers, and supporters mean the world to me. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today and I also wouldn't be as happy as I am today," says Jarman. Photo by Preslee Tringas

I recently showed at Tryon International Equestrian Center and LOVED it! My two horses Kiss Kiss (aka Babs) and Dolce loved the facility and immediately settled in. The facility is beautifully designed for the riders, owners, family, and trainers at the show grounds! Free wifi throughout the whole resort, phone chargers at every ring, keypad locking tack rooms, and cabins on the show grounds! My friend and I just stayed in the 1 bedroom cabins on the site and completely loved it! With a welcome center for the cabins with shuffleboard areas, volleyball courts, ping pong, and lots of other activities available! We never left the show grounds once! We ate at the lovely Roger's Diner, Blue Ginger Sushi, and The Legend's Club for all of our meals! We loved the ability to walk over and kiss our horses goodnight and within in 10 minutes we could be asleep! The large 5 show rings that are currently running have their own schooling ring attached for quick practices and right into the show ring! Tryon had designed more rings that are currently under construction and I cannot wait to see the finished product! Not only the cabins onsite, the owners of Palm Beach International a equestrian Center have partnered with Salamander Resorts to create a 150 room resort including a sports complex, golf course, and full spa. Tryon is located just a little over an hour from Charlotte and Asheville and sits in the rolling hills of North Carolina. Tryon has he nicest amenities for the people and the animals including the stalls and the footing. The ESI Footing is phenomenal for all of the horses from walk-trot to Grand Prix! Tryon has hosted multiple CSI**** FEI Grand Prix and that has brought a lot of buzz to the community around and provided a nice community event for all ages! Tryon has a wonderful vendor row with a new frozen yogurt and candy store, high end boot and saddle brands, and much more! Tryon truly provides everything for everybody! My horses, my friends, and my family enjoyed staying at Tryon and we cannot wait to be back for the remaining summer circuit and the fall circuit! If you haven't gone to Tryon, you're missing out! |
