Olympic Riders: Becky Holder

Becky Holder has won numerous regional and national honors over the previous decade. The 2008 Olympics in Beijing will be Holder's first Olympiad as a competitor (she was an alternate for the 2000 games in Sydney).

While Holder has limited experience on the world stage she has had teachers like Mark Phillips (2 Olympic medals), Karen O'Connor (2 Olympic medals) and David O'Connor (3 Olympics medals) who are well-seasoned competitors. Holder's Olympic mount is Courageous Comet, a 12-year-old thoroughbred gelding.
