ZOE
Zoe Brown grew up surrounded by horses, with both her mother and father deeply rooted in horse training. Initially, Zoe loved simply being around the horses but found her passion for riding at age 10, eventually leading to a successful career in competitive equestrian sports. She is currently competing in Grand Prix events, bringing a unique perspective and empathy to her work with riders due to her personal experiences managing pressure in high-stakes competitions. Believing that success is built on hard work, determination, and patience, Zoe focuses on helping riders cultivate strong, confident relationships with their horses. Her approach equips clients with the tools to excel both in the show ring and in their overall equestrian journeys. This philosophy is deeply rooted in her belief that growth takes time and commitment.
A career highlight for Zoe was winning the Talent Search Finals in 2021 on a horse sourced and trained by her parents, a testament to her family’s legacy and her dedication. She is also proud to have been selected to represent her home country Australia on an FEI 5* Nations Cup team. Another special moment for Zoe was, at 17 years-old, placing in the top 8 in a 1.60m World Cup Qualifier Grand Prix riding Chase.
The family-oriented and supportive environment at Stanford Barn holds a special place in Zoe’s heart. She values the meaningful bonds she creates with clients and their horses, striving to inspire confidence, joy, and a lifelong love for the sport in every rider she mentors.
