Ross Kaplan

Ross Kaplan began his riding career at the age of 6 at Jamaica Bay Riding Academy. After just a few lessons Ross was hooked. At the age of 8, he began his show career in the Short Stirrup Hunter aboard “Midnight Illusion”. By age 13, Ross and his trainer Wendy Kaufman were purchasing talented young prospects and training them for the hunter ring. Ross’s passion later turned to the jumper ring where he successfully competed at many prestigious shows such as the Hampton Classic, Garden State, and HITS. Ross brings to his teaching passion, enthusiasm and years of knowledge built with the help of many great horsemen such as Jimmy Rice, Michael Page, Kevin Babbington and Greg Best. (Source)
