The Annie Goodwin Rising Star Grant Recipient

2025 - Taylor Bradish

Taylor Bradish began her lifelong passion for horses at only four years old. A Flagstaff, Arizona native, at nineteen years young, she decided to uproot and move completely across the United States to begin training at a renowned combined driving facility in Windsor, South Carolina known as Katydid Farm. 


Since then, Taylor's combined driving career has flourished and her many accolades include 3 Time USEF Advanced Single Horse Combined Driving National Champions and the highest placed US pair at the 2022 and 2024 FEI Combined Driving World Championships.


She now owns and operates Golden Carriage Driving, a premier destination for training and boarding of combined driving horses located in Windsor, SC.


 "I am incredibly honored to have been chosen to receive the 2025 Annie Goodwin Rising Star Grant. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet Annie. I have heard many great things about her lifelong dedication to her sport, which is something I think we would have had in common. Receiving this grant will be instrumental in helping me towards my goals of growing the sport of Combined Driving, as well as continuing to develop my training business and competing at the international level."

2024 - Isabelle Bosley

Isabelle Bosley has been riding her entire life, and started eventing at age eight. She has worked for 5* rider, Lillian Heard, for the last eight years and is slowly building up her own business. With Lillian's guidance, Isabelle has hopes of being at the top of the sport one day. Isabelle has competed through the 4* level and has three main competition horses, all at different levels, that she has produced with the help of Lillian.


On being informed that she was selected as the recipient for the 2023 grant, Isabelle commented:


"I am incredibly honored and grateful to receive this grant. Annie was a fantastic horsewoman in this sport, and someone I looked up to not only as a rider but also as a person.  I feel very privileged to be chosen as the inaugural recipient, and am looking forward to the opportunities this grant will present in the 2024 season!"
