Rieke Office Interiors (ROI) President and Owner Melissa Kehl wins a 2021 Enterprising Women of the Year Award. In my years as ROI’s president and owner, I’ve learned that female entrepreneurs need three things to succeed: risk-taking abilities, confidence and a good support system to help as owners like myself share the successes with my team and tackle the challenges that the company may face.
Olympic showjumper Kent Farrington has been crowned US Equestrian’s (USEF) international equestrian of the year 2020 – as his mare Gazelle takes the international horse honours.
The awards, voted for by USEF members, were among those presented at the virtual USEF Pegasus and Horses of the Year Awards Celebration on 16 January.
Kent was part of the silver medal-winning team at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the bronze medal-winning team at the 2014 World Equestrian Games with Voyeur. In 2019 he became the first US rider to win the CSI5 Rolex grand prix at CHIO Aachen and the Rolex grand prix at CHI Geneva in the same year with Gazelle, the 15-year-old mare he co-owns with Robin Parsky.
