VIOLET TATUM
The standout junior rider on her diligent practice, show ring milestones – and why kindness matters most
IT’S HARD NOT TO NOTICE VIOLET TATUM.
Just 15 years old, the California junior rider excels in all three rings. She’s won tricolors at Indoors and Junior Hunter Finals, and she piloted For Fun to USEF HOTY Grand Champion honors. Her winter circuit at the Desert International Horse Park is punctuated by wins and championships week in and week out, on both her own horses and catch rides.
But on social media, you’ll see her fall. And you’ll see her celebrating not only her own wins, but her fellow junior riders’ victories as well.
