Caroline McLeese, a longtime equestrian from Omaha, Nebraska, spent her junior years climbing the ranks in the equitation and jumper rings. Caroline had a very successful career as a young rider, finishing in the top-25 at the 2013 USEF Medal and ASPCA Maclay finals. That same year, she competed as a member of the Zone 6 Young Riders and Prix De States teams while riding as a working student for Don Stewart. 

Caroline turned professional after earning her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Indiana University in 2016 and has worked alongside distinguished riders such as Laura Kraut and Hunter Holloway. Since then, Caroline has competed against the best at the international level and has earned top placings at the national level. 

She began at Double H Farm in September of 2020 and quickly became an integral part of the team. Caroline has competed up to the 2* grand prix level and has beautifully developed several young jumpers. In her time at Double H, she has become a talented trainer, helping Quentin with their roster of clients in the show ring and at home. Caroline is the first to come and the last to leave the barn, and when she’s not riding, she can be found playing fetch with her dog, Annie.
