This past weekend at Galway was the first time I’ve seen Nina Ligon in action, and I must admit to being curious beforehand. I left California thoroughly impressed by her riding, her composure, and especially her choice in coach! I cornered Kim in the sponsor’s tent and we chatted for a little while about coaching Nina, Kim’s own ambitions including some pretty high-powered dressage, and the extremely complicated Olympic qualifications!
Many thanks to Kim for her time, and congratulations on a splendid job so far, we will all keep our fingers crossed for Nina next year, and look forward to seeing Kim out on her youngsters too. When I asked her if it was hard to watch Nina go round the cross country, she replied that of course she wished she were riding herself, but that she’s waiting for the right horse again, another Paddy or Dan. Let’s hope she has one in that bunch at home. Go Kim Seversen Eventing!
Kim has passed her hallmark of supreme turnout onto Team Ligon, they were never anything less than immaculate at all times.
