Amanda Marano

Amanda’s love for horses started at a young age and developed into a passion. She began riding at the age of 8 at Timber Edge Farm and started becoming competitive two years later with her first hunter pony “Silver Lining”. Amanda was fortunate enough to compete in Ocala, Culpepper, and New York as well as other ‘AA’ shows during her early years as a rider, often times coming home with the tri-colors. But even then her heart was truly in the Jumper ring and starting at the age of 12 she turned her full attention to it. Amanda's experience in the jumper ring is extensive with many awards and ribbons to prove it as well as showing in both The Penn National Horse Show in Harrisburg PA and The Washington International Horse Show in downtown Washington D.C.

During high school Amanda travelled twice to Germany and the Netherlands with her trainer, Judy Stephens, and parents Victor and Bee Marano in search for untrained prospect horses to import back over to the states, both times having much success. She attended The University of Findlay in Ohio where she joined the IHSA varsity team her first year, being the only freshmen in the Open division and 1 of only 3 freshmen overall to make the team. She majored in both Equine business management and Equestrian Riding and Training. In her second year of college Park Avenue Stables was established during the Fall of 2008 bringing both Amanda’s and her Father’s dream to life.

In the Spring of 2009 Amanda travelled to Ireland to ride at the Clonshire Equestrian Centre to gain experience with the cross country discipline as well as to expand her overall knowledge of horses from a different perspective. Amanda’s experience and knowledge of the show horse is a valued contribution to Park Avenue Stables. Her contacts within the area as well as around the world are a benefit to both horse and rider who wish to be competitive in a growing and demanding sport. Not only does she want to help her students and horses progress but to instill knowledge that will help them for years to come.
