Chloe Paetsch

Chloe didn’t just grow up in the ring, she built herself in it.

Originally from Colorado, she went pro at 18 and never stopped moving. Jumpers were the foundation, and she stacked the kind of resume you only get by saying yes to pressure, miles, and hard work. From Wellington, FL to Long Island, NY across Europe and into Southern California, she chased education over comfort. Working for top programs, learning different systems, and earning every piece of her craft.

Ten years on the road taught her how to ride and how to think. Big tracks, fast decisions, high expectations… that jumper background shows up everywhere. Now she’s bringing that experience into the hunter ring, a longtime goal in motion. Same work ethic. Same standard. New way to show it.

Along the way, she expanded her role beyond the saddle, recently earning her USEF Licensed Official C1 Steward ‘r’ certification after nearly two years of education and apprenticeships.

Back in Colorado with a decade of elite experience and eyes firmly forward. This year’s goals: qualifying for the Developing Pro Challenge at Capital Challenge and continuing to deliver in the derby ring where she has already been earning top placings with Moncler, fondly known in the barn as ‘Panda.’
