Some horse stories start with destiny.
Chloe’s started with… her sister.
One ordinary day, she watched her sister ride — and something clicked. A spark. A flutter. A sudden realization that horses were, in fact, the coolest creatures on earth. So she signed up for a riding camp.
That’s when things got interesting.
Her very first riding instructor?
Later became her school art teacher.
Yes — horses by weekend, watercolors by Wednesday. Quite possibly the best plot twist in equestrian history.
From that moment, riding once a week turned into riding as often as humanly possible. That’s when she met Ophelia — a sweet, elegant mare with a soft face, gentle eyes, and a secretly dramatic personality. They clicked instantly. And only after meeting Chloe, Ophelia became a Harrison Howard model.
(She insists it was her idea.)
Chloe started jumping, schooling, dreaming.
Went from pole work to 2’6” like it was a casual stroll.
She decided she would become an eventer — because why settle for one discipline when you could have three?
Then came another leap… into Instagram.
One post led to another, and slowly her page began to grow — not just in likes, but in connection, in creativity, in confidence. Month by month, riders started following her journey. And somewhere along the scroll, Harrison Howard found her.
It started with gloves.
Then a belt.
Then a base layer.
Then the dream boot bag (that she may or may not refer to as her luxury luggage).
And the rest, as they say, galloped into place.
Ophelia kept modeling.
Chloe kept riding.
And together, they kept telling a story —
one jump, one photo, one stride at a time.
“Now I don’t just wear Harrison Howard,” Chloe says,
“We’re part of each other’s stories.”
And Ophelia? She says nothing.
But she does pose every time a camera appears.
