Maria Morin started riding at the age of six in Fredericksburg Virginia, and in 2001 began training under Pam Baker. Pam's instruction led her to great success on her Small Junior Hunter horse 'Bimini.' She is currently a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she is also the captain of the Equestrian Team. Her passion for the sport and the horses continues to grow, and she looks forward to competing on her new horse 'Dream Street' in the Amateur Owners.
