E.S. Damon grew up in the horse industry, riding at sales barns and showing with 4H. She pursued her degree in Equine Business through The Commonwealth Honors College at UMass Amherst and has spent many years teaching riders of all ages and levels. She has ridden and shown in many disciplines including Hunt Seat, Dressage, Western, and Gymkhana.
