Haven Seifert & “Maverick” — French Mission
Marne, MI · Qualified at Berlin Fairgrounds
“My favorite thing about my horse is that he’s an absolute gentle giant. Anyone can ride him, and he’ll always take care of you.”
This is Haven Seifert’s first time qualifying on French Mission, though she’s been to the Best of the Best before on her youth horse Bullet — the first horse she ever had, and the one she says made her the rider she is today.
Haven does all the work at home. “Horses are my house and I do all the work. That was the deal when I got horses.” Her mom is the person who made the biggest impact on her riding: “She has always believed in me and invested so much of her time, love, and support into helping me pursue this passion.”
And her biggest win? Every run. “Every opportunity to ride him is a win, and he is such a huge blessing.”
Welcome back, Haven.
