as a prize (stay tuned on where he plans to go!). He came home with his current competition horse, C’est la Vie 135 with whom he finished 6th at the CCI3-S at Bromont in 2019, won the Fair Hill International CCI3*-L, and most recently won the USEF CCI4*-L National Championship at Tryon in 2021, earning a free flight from The Dutta Corp.

There he continued to excel at the upper levels. Sharon orchestrated the opportunity of a lifetime for Woods in 2018 by sending him to Germany for a year with Dirk Schrade. That year he qualified for the NAJYRC 2* and finished 6th individually on Montesquieu, and in 2016 he placed second in the CIC 2* with Maverick McNamara. In 2015, Woods met Sharon White and joined Team Orange. In 2014, he qualified for the NAJYRC 1* and finished 12th individually with his horse Truckee Bash as well as Area VIII Team Bronze. At 10 years old, he convinced his parents to purchase a quarter pony named Smoothie with whom he competed at his first events and achieved his C3 rating with the Keeneland Pony Club. From Lexington, KY, he started riding at age 6 with Maggie Wright at her Champagne Run Farm. Woods Baughman, a 5* rider and assistant trainer at Last Frontier Farm, has become an integral part of our team.
