Team Valeria Ariza

The first ‘proud South American lady’ to take part in the Mongol Derby. Jumping and dressage are her origins and she works as a full-time trainer and coach. Is “in on anything involving horses from ladies polo to horse related conferences”. Her true passion is travelling with and on horses, and her midlife mantra is "going where the horses take me". Rode in Mongolia in 2004, a lifechanging trip, and “always wondered if I could ever go back”.
