In 2023, Taylor and Geoff moved Horseshoe Bend Sales from their previous home base of Wellington, Florida, to The Netherlands.

From there it has been a quick rise to the top of the sport. Taylor has now represented the United States in the Nations Cup in Vejer de la Frontera, Spain, where the team finished on the podium and will head to Abu Dhabi in the coming weeks to ride for the US Team in the season opener of the League of Nations (which is the top 5* Nations Cup series in the world).

Brought to you by Taylor, Harris Insurance Services.  Host: Tonya Johnston, Visit her Website, Facebook and buy her book Inside Your RideGuest: Colleen Reed successfully convinced her parents of her need for riding lessons at age nine. Colleen was a proud member of the Hambletonian US Pony Club from age 10 through 18, and it was the education from Pony Club that ignited Colleen's passion for horse care and stable management. Despite never owning a pony or horse of her own, Colleen became a master of trading her barn skills for horses to show throughout the local New Jersey and New York circuits. In 1984, while attending Centenary College, where she majored in Equine Studies and Management, Colleen was given an internship at famed Beacon Hill Show Stables working as a groom for top show hunters and Equitation mounts. Before long she went from interning to fulltime member of the Beacon Hill team, eventually moving into a traveling management position that found Colleen accompanying upwards of 25 horses to events nationwide. Colleen's expert barn skills soon caught the attention of the great Emerson Burr and in 1991 Colleen became the manager for Fairfield County Hunt Club and groom for Leslie Burr Howard's elite jumpers- Gem Twist, Pressurized and Charisma. Colleen's time at Fairfield provided a wide range of competition care, from winning World Cups to Pony Finals silver cups. Colleen remains active in the equestrian community as a Stable Manager Clinician for the USHJA EAP and Gold Star Clinics as well as the USEF Horsemastership Session. Colleen is an active FEI Steward, a USEF Steward and a Certified Schooling Area Supervisor.
