Horses are a very important part of Agatha D’Ambra’s life. When she is not traveling across the United States competing, she enjoys giving free lessons at the local stable where she got her start as a rider and bought her first horse. Along with her parents, Dr. Thomas and Constance D’Ambra, Agatha owns Trade Winds Farm.
Agatha is lucky enough to have several talented horses to work with. Landgero is her young prospect and she has been steadily bringing him up to the Grand Prix level. The pair had an exciting summer in 2005, competing in their first Grand Prix together at the Vermont Summer Festival horse show.
Lily is a small bay mare that Agatha purchased from Cornelia Guest. Originally bought as a jumper, Lily has carried Agatha to great success in equitation competition and qualified for the medal rounds, proving the mare’s broad talent.
Her two newest mounts, Rushdy and Phoenix, were recently imported from Germany. While Rushdy is an old pro that has become a solid Grand Prix athlete, Phoenix is the less experienced of the two horses but Agatha is excited about bringing the smart and talented grey gelding up through the levels.
Along with being actively involved in horses, Agatha likes to read, travel and listen to music. She enjoys helping charities when she can, so becoming a Rider Ambassador for JustWorld International was a natural fit. Agatha is the youngest of three children and has one older brother and one older sister.
