Taylor Blackman: A Rising Star in Show Jumping and Excel Supplements Sponsored Rider
From Texas Roots to the Show Jumping Arena
Taylor Blackman hails from Texas, where her journey with horses began almost as soon as she could sit in a saddle. Growing up in a family immersed in equestrian sports, Taylor was introduced early to the world of roping, reining, and cow horses. This strong foundation in Western and English disciplines set the stage for her diverse and successful equestrian career.
Early Competitions and Transition to Show Jumping
Before discovering her passion for show jumping, Taylor competed in prestigious associations like the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA) and the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA). Her competitive spirit and dedication quickly earned her recognition in these disciplines. However, it was the thrill of show jumping that ultimately captured her heart, leading her to pursue a new path with relentless determination.
As a junior rider, Taylor excelled in the hunters and equitation divisions, competing at the highest levels. It was during her time in the High Junior Jumpers that she fell in love with the show-jumping industry, a decision that would shape her future. Under the expert guidance of Wilhelm Genn, Taylor transitioned from the hunter ring to the jumper ring with impressive speed and skill. Her dedication paid off as she began competing in FEI 3 Grand Prix events*, securing multiple placings and establishing herself as a formidable competitor in the show-jumping world.
