TRAINER HANNAH BATCHELOR
As a junior rider, Hannah competed in the short stirrup through the pony division with her first pony, Bosco. She then purchased fan-favorite Flynn, who she trained all the way from his first jump, to a successful show career competing in the junior equitation on the "A" circuit.
Hannah graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2021 with a degree in Equine Science and Management. While attending school, she also competed on the UK Equestrian Team, and gained experience teaching lessons, as well as training and selling OTTBs.
​
Hannah worked under Susan Kovalik for three years, teaching and riding, before opening her own business Batchelor Equestrian, located at Ever After Equestrian, in 2024. Her riders have gone on to be the high-point rider of their region in IEA, compete at IEA nationals, champion at "A" and "B" shows, and finish as the high-point rider of their division on the IHJA "B" circuit.
