Rider Biographies

Colleen Rutledge

Country: United States

Age: 34

Colleen’s background is steeped in equestrianism. In 1991 she was one of the youngest riders ever selected to represent her country on the international mounted games team. She spent four years on the team, travelling all over the world.

This will be a first four-star for both Colleen and Shiraz (known as ‘Luke’), although the duo has very consistent three-star form over the past three years.

Colleen is married to Brian and has three children; Cassie, 9, Connor, 6, and Ciana, 3.
