Zazou Hoffman winning the ASPCA Maclay Equitation Final 2009, Syracuse, N.Y.

Zazou Hoffman winning the ASPCA Maclay Hunt Seat Equitation Medal Final at the Syracuse Horse Show in 2009. This is considered one of the most prestigious competitions in the United States and is a stepping stone for many show jumping Olympians. Zazou trains with Missy Clark, John Brennan and Kristy McCormack. She is riding a Ivy, a horse owned by Missy Clark. In 2003, Zazou won the Ronnie Mutch Working Student Scholarship which took her to the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida. There she trained with Missy Clark and formed an alliance that led to her becoming a working student at Missy Clark’s farm North Run in Warren, Vermont. The Maclay win was the culmination of many years of hard work, dedication and the extraordinary generosity of trainer Missy Clark. The video was edited by Jake Cormier.
