Georgina Bloomberg

When I was growing up, I got a lot of, 'Oh, well, she bought the nicest horse, so of course she's going to win.' And I dealt with a lot of that. ”

I could live in Target clothes forever. ”

If I couldn't compete, I wouldn't ride. I don't ride for fun; I ride to prepare for the next competition, and everything that I do when I am in the saddle is always a calculated step in my path to the next win. ”

George Morris is a legend. I was lucky enough to have been on a number of his U.S. show-jumping teams and am constantly trying to learn from him. ”

I want kids: two adopted and three of my own. ”

Voting for a politician is very different then saying you like somebody or don't like somebody. ”

I never spend money on hair bands. I just go to a ribbon-trimming store. ”

My mother grew up around horses and exposed my sister and I to riding early on. It was very important to her. ”

As a mother, I'm constantly feeling like a failure. ”

When I was a teenager I hated having Bloomberg as a last name and being seen simply as someone's daughter. I used to shy away from it in every way. As I got older, I began to realize that it was something I could use to make a difference in the causes I cared about. I learned to be proud of my last name. ”
