Brittany’s top horse is Trademark, a resale project that she ended up keeping for herself. In their fi rst two-star event, the 2005 CCI** Radnor Hunt International Three Day Event, Trademark and Brittany were the highest-placed foreign competitors. The result put them on the Canadian Eventing Team Long List for the fi rst time. An active member of the Pony Club for most of her childhood, her involvement has allowed her the opportunity to travel. Her biggest trip came in 1999 when she was selected to participate on the Mounted Games Team headed for Australia. Brittany is now an HA member of the Huron Valley Pony Club in the Great Lakes Region as well as a visiting instructor. In 2003, she attended the National Youth Congress in California as the Regional Delegate. Brittany enjoys the support of her parents as well as her sister and two younger brothers. A third year student at Eastern Michigan University, she is currently taking time off in order to concentrate on her riding. Brittany also has a keen interest in photography and has displayed her work in exhibitions.
