Today's influencers. Tomorrow's icons.

We stand for more
than just winning.

Enso Equestrian was founded on a shared vision to create legacies for athletes that continue beyond their career. It’s more than just about winning. It’s about having more prospects, more meaning and more heart. Being an example for the next generation of sporting enthusiasts to follow.

We can provide the platform for athletes to have a positive impact on and off the field of play. Turn influencers into icons for further generations to aspire to. Create legacies that have meaning and purpose. Legacies that people can relate to and take heart from. Knowing anything is possible if they work hard, put the effort in and have the right support around them.

We work closely with each athlete to better understand their needs and requirements. This enables us to maximise the support we can offer. Our aim is to provide the pathway for them to become ambassadors, not only in their respective sport, but also for a better world.

Together with his horse Hello Sanctos, Scott competed as part of the British Team at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London winning a gold medal in the team jumping event. In 2015 he became the first rider in history of the sport to win show jumping’s Rolex Grand Slam – all three of the sport’s most prestigious events in a single year. Scott has risen to the highest level of show jumping sport by way of his humble beginnings in Peebles, Scotland. Always eager to be around horses (rather than being in school!) Scott and his older sister grew up riding their ponies and spending weekends competing all across the U.K. Now Scott is arguably one of the most loved riders in the sport, both for his unwavering principles, humble persona and for staying true to what started his incredible career – his love of horses.

Kent Farrington

Kent Farrington is one of the leading show jumping athletes in the USA, an Olympic medallist and renowned and respected for his dedication, perseverance and ‘never give up’ mantra.

Growing up in Chicago, Kent impressed from a young age and his transition from junior to professional was seamless; in his first three years as a professional he earned over $1 million in prize money and received the Maxine Beard Award, presented to an individual American rider who best displays true potential to represent the United States on the international stage. Today Kent is one of the best riders in the world, earning the number one spot in the world show jumping rankings. His year is spent traveling the globe, collecting wins from Shanghai to Paris to LA. He continues to build on an already impressive list of international victories, including a Team Silver Medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and first place in the 2019 Rolex Grand Prix at CHIO Aachen, as well as the Rolex Top Ten – revered by many to be the one of most prestigious wins in the sport of show jumping.

Winning the gold medal alongside Team USA at the 2018 equestrian games, and selected to represent Team USA at showjumping’s mecca, Aachen, for the 2022 Nations Cup, Sternlicht is scaling to the very top echelon’s of the sport.

Beyond a successful equestrian career, Adrienne is an exceptionally disciplined individual who maintained her focus on an academic education, completing her degree in public policy at Brown University, before focusing her efforts full time as a professional showjumper.

Georgina Bloomberg

Georgina Bloomberg is an accomplished professional show jumper based in New York City, N.Y., North Salem, N.Y., and Wellington, Fla. Bloomberg represented the United States Equestrian Team at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, where she earned a Team Bronze medal.

In addition to a successful equestrian career, Bloomberg has co-authored four young adult novels about the equestrian show circuit, The A Circuit, and is well known for her philanthropic efforts, particularly for her extensive animal welfare work and for founding The Rider’s Closet in 2006.

Born in New York City on January 20, 1983, Bloomberg is the the daughter of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Susan Brown.

An animal lover from a very young age, Bloomberg began riding at the age of 4. Her success as a child rider was notable, winning Best Child Rider awards at every major horse show on the East Coast before turning her attention exclusively to show jumping in 2001. She went on to win the USET Talent Derby in 2001 and two gold medals at the FEI North American Young Riders’ Championships (team gold in 2002 and individual gold in 2003).

In 2004, Bloomberg won the coveted USET Maxine Beard Award, which recognizes accomplishments by an up-and-coming show jumper. The same year, she also won the Derby of Drammen. The following year, she made her FEI World Cup Final debut and was a member of the first, winning U.S. team in the Samsung Super League Nations Cup team at La Baule, France.

From there, Bloomberg gained numerous show jumping victories, including winning five WEF Challenge Cup titles since 2005 in Wellington; first place at the $75,000 Empire State Grand Prix at the 2010 Lake Placid Horse Show; in 2014, she anchored the U.S. team victory at the Furusiyya Nations Cup in Gijon, Spain with a double clear performance; she triumphed at the inaugural $210,000 Central Park Grand Prix CSI3* later that same year; and she claimed victory at the $127,000 Adequan® Grand Prix CSI3* at the 2015 Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington-just to name a few.

In 2016, Georgina had the opportunity to participate in the inaugural season of the Global Champions League in the capacity as both a rider and team owner. Previous owner of the GCL Team Miami Glory and now new owner of the New York Empire, Georgina, along with an impressive line-up of athletes including London Olympic gold medalist Scott Brash, Irish veteran Denis Lynch, Germany’s Hans-Dieter Dreher, U.S.-based Daniel Bluman, who competes for Israel, and the USA’s rising U25 star Spencer Smith, they tackled the 2019 edition of the exciting new Global Champions League season and qualified for the series final, the GCL Super Cup in Prague.

These wins and top placings have highlighted her growing career as a top level show jumper, a profession she has excelled in despite taking time off due to two major injuries in 2002 and 2010.

In addition to her riding career, Bloomberg is the proud mother of son, Jasper, who was born in New York in December 2013.

Since then, Harry has made the world’s top 100 in the FEI rankings along with playing a crucial part of the Miami Celtics team on the Global Champions Tour.
