Hi, I’m Honor! I live in Sun Valley, Idaho.
My horses live at an idyllic family farm in Marin County, California where I travel to train and compete. I am trained by lifelong horseman and top professional Benson Carroll.
I compete in the 3’6” Equitation Medals and 1.20m Jumpers. I also have extensive experience catch riding ponies, young and green horses and seasoned Hunters.
I am a student at Laurel Springs School. When I am not riding I enjoy traveling with my family, hiking in the mountains and getting boba tea with my friends. I am rarely without my toy Aussie sidekick, Winnie.

Notable Achievements
Benson Carroll, Trainer
“Honor may very well be one of the best riders I have had to date. I have had the privilege of watching Honor reveal not only her innate talent, but perhaps more importantly a work ethic and an insatiable desire to learn and succeed. Honor demonstrates a team spirit and makes herself available to help out others throughout the long days of competition. In addition to her horsemanship ability and personal nature, Honor is in possession of invaluable traits as an athlete - her highly competitive disposition, her desire to improve and her mental focus.”
Alexandra Lipacis, Division I Equestrian Athlete
“Honor is the type of teammate you can count on. She shows up early, stays late, and never hesitates to help where she can. She leads by example with her positive attitude, humor, humility, and quiet determination. On top of that, she also treats every horse and human around her with respect and care. She’s incredibly coachable, always eager to learn, and handles feedback with maturity and grace.
It is obvious that Honor truly loves and appreciates the sport, the horses, and the process for all that it is. That kind of passion and work ethic is rare, and it’s exactly what makes her such a strong candidate for collegiate equestrian. I wholeheartedly believe Honor has what it takes to thrive on a college team, not only because of her talent, but because of her integrity, her sportsmanship and horsemanship, and the way she lifts up those around her. Any program would be lucky to have her!”
