Louisville, KY – Alayna Applegate has established herself as an extremely accomplished rider at a very young age. Her love of horses comes naturally as her mother Brooke grew up showing Saddlebreds, and at the age of six, Alayna received a package of riding lessons and eagerly entered the ring. This exceedingly confident and talented young lady hails from Ewing, Kentucky, and her dream is to become a professional trainer at Desmar Stables, her current training facility in Harrodsburg, Kentucky.
