HOW ABBY GOT STARTED :

Abby Cosenza began riding at a very early age, so one can say, horsemanship has always been a part of her life. She had horses growing up and was riding by the time she was 11. Deciding that she wanted to pursue a career in an area that was so engrained in her lifestyle, she went on to graduate from the first Equine Program at the University of Findlay. During the summer and breaks from college, Abby worked for Dale Wilkinson until she graduated with a BS in Equine Science & Art. After graduation, she worked 3 years on a ranch in Oklahoma for John Mullholland. She has held her judges’ card for 20 years with the AQHA & NRHA and recently acquired an APHA card. Her husband, Marc Cosenza, and she own and run Cosenza Reining Horses, LLC.
