Alice Tarjan of Oldwick, an amateur rider who brings her young horses along to Grand Prix level, has been selected to participate in the Kundrun U.S. Equestrian Federation’s Dressage Development Program.
She is among 21 riders perceived to have the ability to make or contribute to podium-quality scores, who will receive strategic guidance and resources.
U.S. Dressage Development Coach Charlotte Bredahl oversees the program with the support of the U.S. Dressage Program coaching staff, including Technical Advisor Debbie McDonald, Dressage Youth Coach, George Williams and Young Horse Coach Christine Traurig.
The program is supported by Fritz and Claudine Kundrun. Their horse Rosevelt, ridden by Allison Brock, was part of the bronze medal team at the 2016 Olympics.
Alice, the only Jerseyan on the list, was selected with Candescent, her 10-year-old Hanoverian mare, and Harvest, her eight-year-old Dutch warmblood stallion. Just three other riders were chosen with two horses.
