Piper speaks with Mark Miness and Karen Lucian who are amateur riders that support professionals in this industry as owners and collaborators. Brought to you by Taylor, Harris Insurance Services.
- Host: Piper Klemm, publisher of The Plaid Horse
- Guest: Mark Miness has been riding horses competitively since he was twelve years old. As a young rider, Mark trained under Leslie Howard and Molly Ashe, whom he credits for both his horsemanship and riding abilities. After a hiatus that lasted about fifteen years where Mark built a career in sustainable investing, he returned to riding both as an amateur rider and as an owner. Today, Mark is a Partner at Generation Investment Management, which is a mission driven investment firm focusing on investing in businesses and technologies that will help address some of the world's most urgent sustainability challenges. When he has time, Mark rides in the amateur owner hunters and focuses on owning and developing young horses primarily in partnership with Tom de Bel and Rene Dittmer.
- Guest: Karen Lucian lives in Newport Beach, California and keeps her hunters in Wellington, Florida and trains with Keri Kampsen and Lexy Reed. Karen is a financial advisor at Raymond James and her lifetime dream has been to ride quality show horses.
