For Kirsten Coe it all started in California, the State she was born in and grew up almost never leaving the saddle. Her mother is former rider Diane Langer and taught Kirsten almost anything she knows about horses. Since she started riding, Kirsten participated in both the hunter and the jumper classes and is still doing so today. And it works! She won the World Champion Hunter Rider Professional Challenge in 2007, four years later she competed at her first World Cup final of show jumping. Today Kirsten works with her husband Ilan Ferder, training students and selling horses spending their time between Florida and California.
