Kristen VanderVeen, the owner of Bull Run Jumpers Inc., has been riding competitively for most of her life. As a professional show jumper, Kristen has dedicated her life to buying, training and selling horses. Kristen travels to countries across Europe, searching for talented horses to import to the United States. Once stateside, each horse is trained on an individual basis to compete at various levels of performance at horse shows all over the country.
Beginning her career in pony jumpers, Kristen received many accolades and awards, including second place in the National Pony Finals and a Team victory. She later went on to receive numerous blue ribbons, trophies and checks in Children`s Jumpers, and then as a Junior Jumper, Kristen took third place in the Prix de States National Championships on Bradberry.
Now, as a young professional, Kristen has already attained many high honors including winning Bahama`s Eco Grand Prix in Wellington FL, qualifying and competing in the inaugural Pfizer Million Dollar Grand Prix, and winning over $150,000 in prize money in 2010 alone aboard her two Grand Prix horses, Bull Run`s Alpha & Omega and Bull Run`s La Bamba.

Bull Runs Alpha and Omega
Bull Run Jumpers imported Alpha & Omega (aka Flight) as a 5 year old and his first showing season in 2008 as a six year old showed great promise--he was clean in nearly all of his 6 year old classes in Ocala`s winter season with Kristen`s brother Josh. Kristen took over the ride and brought him along to be one of Bull Run Jumpers most successful Grand Prix horses. His first full season at the Grand Prix level as an eight year old in 2010 the pair won over $60,000. He was sold in summer of 2012 after winning the $30,000 Griffis Apt. Funds Rockies Grand Prix in Denver, Co brining his total career earnings to $120,000 and placing in over 35 Grand Prixs. Flight is great example of Kristen`s ability to bring along young horses to have successful Grand Prix careers. Flight is special horse for Bull Run Jumpers and we are excited about his career with his new owners.
