Sixteen year old Emma Heise from Northfield, Illinois is a competitive rider whom shows in the Junior Jumpers. She trains with Olympian Laura Kraut and currently owns nine horses. She shows them in the Junior Jumpers and the 1* and 2* classes, along with a few 3* classes in Europe.
When asked what it felt like for her to qualify, show, and even ribbon at some of the top national shows, Heise responded that "Qualifying for any national shows makes me feel that all the work that my horses and I have put in throughout the year has finally paid off."
Her favorite thing about riding and showing is that "you can be at the top one day and at the bottom the next. It is the most humbling sport there is."
Heise said that she would love to say in the horse world for as long as she can and make a career out of it. She would also love to buy, train, and sell young horses. At WEF this year, she would like to compete in the U25 classes. In the future, Heise has hopes of attending the Olympics.
She looks up to Laura Kraut and Marcus Ehning. Heise's advice to anyone who has hopes of riding and showing as much as her is to keep riding and working hard and one day it will all pay off!
Heise has been riding for about eight years, and got into the sport because her friend rode and always talked about how much she loved it so she decided she wanted to start too.
