Payton Kiphart & “Sophia” — Seis Bien
Wilmington, OH · Qualified at Crazy Woman Ranch
Payton Kiphart is bringing a second horse to Springfield this year. Of Sophia she says: “I love how sweet and consistent she is!”
This is roughly Payton’s 10th BOTB qualification, and she’s coming off winning the redemption round at NBHA Youth Worlds out of 824 horses. Her favorite thing about home is getting to ride with her family every day — parents, Meem and Pap all in her corner. And Seis So Sweet is the mare she names as a major part of making her the rider she is today.
Her message for everyone: “Have fun and enjoy your horse!!!”
Welcome back, Payton.
