Avery Brown is an exceptional athlete who aspires to represent the USA in the High Performance dressage arena.
USDF Gold Medal
Avery's FEI dressage career jump-started in 2011 thanks to the mentorship of Rachel Saavedra. Under Rachel's tutelage, Avery advanced from the national levels to the FEI, realizing her lifelong dream to ride the Grand Prix. Aboard Saavedra's Robello, Avery earned her USDF silver and gold medals in 2014. However, Avery's successful Grand Prix season was not the end of her quest; on the contrary, it marked a new beginning.
Infinity & Beyond
The young equestrian's demonstrated success and potential sparked a grander vision. As Robello's competitive career drew to a close, Avery formed Infinity & Beyond, LLC with the goal of attracting contributions to finance the purchase, training and competition of a promising young dressage horse. In the spring of 2015, thanks to the generous contributions of more than 50 supporters inspired by Avery's talent and determination, Infinity & Beyond acquired Esscher, a 2009 Dutch gelding. Avery and Esscher competed successfully at First, Second, Third, Fourth, FEI Prix St Georges, FEI Intermediate 1 and FEI Intermediate 1 Freestyle levels in California during the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons.
