The Redden family’s equestrian journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic when Summer Redden, her daughter Emma, and their nieces Abigail and Annie took up horseback riding while quarantining in Tennessee. Despite initial inexperience and parental apprehension, the girls quickly immersed themselves in the sport, progressing from lessons to owning horses and training seriously. Their passion and dedication led to the creation of the reality TV series “Riding with the Reddens,” which documents their daily lives, training, and aspirations in eventing, supported by expert coaches Kyle and Jen Carter in Ocala, Florida—the “Horse Capital of the World.”

The show captures the authentic challenges and growth of the three cousins as they balance schooling, horse care, and competition, with a focus on safety and fun. Over multiple seasons, the Reddens have expanded their equine family and deepened their involvement in the eventing community, with Abigail aiming for five-star competition and Annie exploring equine photography. Emma, meanwhile, is pursuing acting but remains connected to riding. The series has garnered a fan base and features notable equestrian guests, highlighting the family’s commitment to the sport and the life lessons learned through horsemanship.
