I’m Maddie, the blonde behind The Blonde & The Bay. I am a 26-year-old Adult Amateur FEI dressage competitor, working in the real estate and creative industry while balancing my riding career on the side.
I’m an amateur hunter rider, mother, wife, pediatric Occupational Therapist, and podcaster. I began riding when I was a child and showed my horse, Another Chestnut
My days are long, and in climates that run to the extremes, with my winters in Wellington and my summers in northern Virginia. Heat and humidity are a constant, and I accumulate a lot of saddle time. I’m also a professional rider and trainer, so looking good in spite of it all is important - I want to look polished and presentable to my customers, even when it’s 104* with 100% humidity and theirs is the sixth horse of my morning.
I am the founder and writer of the popular equestrian fashion and lifestyle blog Velvet Rider.I have been riding since I was seven years old, starting out riding Western but now as an adult riding dressage.
