2010
Follow Tara and Buck this weekend at rk3de.org
2009 was a big year for Tara. She completed Rolex for the 2nd time, and
then spent the rest of the year starting her new family. She got married to
Cesar Contreras Pina at her parents farm on July 24 and this fall they
welcomed their daughter Lucia Marie Contreras. Tara had a great start to
the 2010 season down in Aiken, SC including several wins from Beginner
Novice through Advanced. She plans on heading back to Rolex at the end
of April, and as always she is accepting horses in training to compete or sell.
Tara's Background
Tara has been riding since she was 3 years old, thanks to her mother,
who has built up a solid horse business throughout the past 30 years.
Tara has competed three times at the Rolex Kentucky Four Star on her
15-year-old bay gelding, Buckingham Place. She has had "Buck" since he
was a 6-year-old off the track, and has done most of the training herself, with
help from her mother, coach Phillip Dutton, and others. She has also
successfully completed the three-star at Fairhill in Maryland three time finish
in the top half every time.
She has also competed on two Young Rider teams. The one-star team in
2001 in Temple Farms, Illinois, and on the two-star team in 2003 in
Bromont, Canada, where she finished 9th individually on her mare,
Carakat.
Tara graduated from Lincoln University, (Pa.) in May 2006 with a Bachelor of
Arts in Anthropology and Religion. She also has a minor in Chinese and
spent one semester in Kunming, Yunnan, China, during the fall of 2004.
She has also recently received a grant through the American Horse Trial
Foundation . Competing at the Advanced level is expensive, and if Tara
has any hope of riding for the U.S. Equestrian team, she needs your help!
Please see below for details of how to donate.
She would also like to thank all those who donate their products, it helps
immensely! (Please scroll down to see who supports Tara).
