American Grand Prix rider Kerrigan Gluch has decided to leave her employer of 15 years, Hampton Green Farm.  Fully sponsored and supported by Kimberly van Kampen, Gluck was able to build a career from junior rider level to Grand Prix.

"I’ve had the opportunity to grow through the levels, developing not only as a rider but as a professional, while working with some incredible horses and people who have shaped me along the way," Gluch took to Facebook. "I am deeply thankful for all the support Kim VanKampen has given me and will always recognize the significant role she has played in my career."

Next Chapter

With the arrival of Jose Daniel Martin Dockx as in-house head rider at Hampton Green Farm in Ocala, FL, the PRE breeding farm is looking to reconnect with elite level high performance sport. Gluch has decided her ambitions lie elsewhere.

"I’m excited to take some time to be with family and explore new opportunities. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next," said Kerrigan.

Van Kampen told Dressage-News that "Kerrigan is a wonderful person who has been a part of Hampton Green Farm for 15 years. She has treated my horses like they were her own, and she has always been a most trusted friend and accomplished rider. We support her in any decision she makes for this next chapter in life and look forward to her successes. It’s been a real joy to have been her sponsor all these years.”

Gluch began her riding career on ponies and was scouted by Lendon Gray's Dressage4Kids programme, which is sponsored by Van Kampen. Gluch became a working student at Hampton Green Farm and built her career from there.

In 2014 she made his international show debut as a junior rider on PRE Lentisco XVIII and rode at the North American Junior Riders Championships. In 2015 she won Kur bronze with Vaquero HGF at the 2015 North American Young Riders Championships. In 2016 she represented the USA in Europe at the CDI-YR in Compiègne and CDIO-YR Hagen Future Champions.

In 2017 she debuted at Under 25 level with HGF Brio and with Bolero CXLVIII she competed at the CDI's in Rotterdam and Leudelange at U25 level. In 2020 she won silver at the U.S. Under 25 Championship. She moved into the senior Grand Prix division in 2021 with Mejorano HGF and got yet another opportunity to ride in Europe. She showed him in Rotterdam and Kronberg in 2023. The pair's last CDI was in December 2025 in Ocala.

Over the years, Kerrigan has trained with Lendon Gray, José Daniel Martin Dockx, Robert Dover, Charlotte Bredahl, Maria Lithander, and Shelly Francis. Gluch has a degree in Business Management from Florida Atlantic University.
