Rider : Lisa Havilland   Hometown : Poolesville, MD   Horse : “Teceanna” (Anna) - 15 yr old, 16.2 hand, liver chestnut, Dutch Warmblood mare. Anna has hunted on and off since she was four, and has evented through Training Level.   Lisa's Background : I am a litigation attorney specializing in international family law. I have ridden for 30 years (since I was about 7), beginning in Hunters and Equitation. I competed nationally in the IHSA and IDA while attending Wilson College, where I received my undergraduate degree in Equine Management. I began fox hunting with Casanova Hunt in Virginia in 2004, and started Eventing upon my return to Maryland in 2007. In 2013, I began hunting with Potomac Hunt in Poolesville, Maryland. I have been riding side saddle for a little over a year, and regularly hunted aside through the 2017-2018 hunt season. I live and keep my horses in Poolesville, Maryland, and I also enjoy training and re-schooling problem horses and bringing along young horses.   What is your racing experience, side saddle or otherwise? : I currently have no racing experience, but plan to race aside this spring and summer with the SSCF for the first time!   Do you fox hunt? Do you hunt aside? : I am currently a member of the Potomac Hunt in Maryland, but got my start hunting with Casanova Hunt in Virginia in 2004. I have also hunted with many other hunts in MD and VA, and hope to hunt in Ireland one day. I began hunting aside in 2017, and now prefer to hunt sideways whenever possible, as I find it much more enjoyable and challenging.   What got you interested in racing aside? : Last year, when I was considering learning to ride aside, I attended a SSCF assessment with Jill Howson in Middleburg, VA. At the time, I thought racing side saddle was a bit crazy, but after hunting aside all season, I am now determined to give it a try!   What are your side saddle goals for 2018? : I just completed the 2017-2018 hunting season, and I hope to to compete in at least one of the 2018 SSCF races this spring. As an eventer, I plan to compete in at least one event this summer aside. I also hope to show in the Ladies Side Saddle division over the summer, and can’t wait to start hunting again in the fall! I am actively looking for a younger side saddle mount (preferably a mare), 16.3 hands or larger - so please keep your eyes peeled for me!
