Nina Ligon Wins The FEI HSBC Rising Star Award
On Monday night Nina Ligon was awarded the HSBC Rising Star Award at the FEI Awards ceremony in Rio De Janiero. This award is given each year to a person aged 14 to 21 who demonstrates outstanding sporting talent and commitment. Based in Virginia, dual national Nina rides for the Kingdom of Thailand. At the age of 15, Nina rode on the USA junior team at the FEI North American Juniors and Young Riders Championships. Her successes prompted the Thai National Team to invite her to compete with them at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games in Pattaya. As the Thai Eventing team’s youngest and first female rider, she won Individual Gold and contributed to Thailand’s Team Gold win. Nina’s fourth place at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou led the Thai team to a Silver medal. She has become an inspiration for young riders in Thailand and her success and hard work are significantly contributing to the Thai Equestrian Federation’s leadership efforts to develop Eventing, nationally and throughout Asia.
