Written by founder Emma Mabry Taylor Piecukonis is thirteen years old, from Rancho Santa Fe, California. She has a ten year old KPWN chestnut mare imported from the Netherlands named Unscripted (Alana), Taylor also hacks horses a lot but only shows Alana. Together they show in the Green Rider, Low Children's hunters, equitation, and medals. "My biggest riding achievements would be winning 4th out of 50 people in the eq over fences, and winning reserve champion on my new horse," said Piecukonis. Taylor's riding goals for the future would be to definitely start showing in hunter derbys and start doing Grand Prixs. For the show year, her goal is to win Champion at the Championship show at the Del Mar fair grounds. Taylor mentioned that her favorite place to show would be the Del Mar Fair grounds because "it's so peaceful and beautiful, you get to warm up on the race track, and you get the experience of a once of a life life place to show!" Piecukonis' riding advice to other riders is, "I think it is very important to wait. I have waited a long time before I got to show and own a horse. You have to defiantly have goals, goals help you achieve your dreams. Most of all of what you do and follow your dreams! You can do whatever you wish with patience and perseverance." "What I appreciate the most in this sport the bond between horse and rider, you create a bond and a team. Without your horse connecting with you there is no way to understand and ride it. Understanding what your horse means and needs is very important in this sport."
