In the final installment of our interview with Sara Kozumplik, she shares how her journey into equestrian sports began—and the people who helped shape her along the way. 🐴💬
Sara credits her mother, who owned a riding school, as her earliest and most influential mentor. Growing up with access to horses—and the opportunity to train around the world thanks to her father’s military career—gave her a unique and solid foundation in the sport.
She also reflects on her time in Pony Club, which played a major role in developing her riding skills and discipline. But it was a key introduction to legendary coach Jimmy Wofford that became a turning point. With his guidance, Sara was able to overcome her fear and gain the confidence to fully pursue Eventing.
Her story is a testament to how mentorship, early exposure, and strong support systems can ignite lifelong passion and success. 💫
