Caitlyn Stave shows off riding skills in Manila Polo Club Annual Horse Show

Caitlyn Stave is an equestrian star in the making.

On Instagram, the Sparkle actress shared photos of her show jumping with her horse Bella at the Manila Polo Club Annual Horse Show.

She then proudly spoke of her achievements in the competition.

“My first time competing in the MPC Annual Horse Show and Bella and I placed for my first time ever in third on the first day and won first on the second day!” she said.

Caitlyn said she suffered an injury last year, which made her stop riding for five months.

“I got back on the saddle to relearn my foundation, start flat poles, to now jumping and winning in the .55cm class within the span of seven months!”

She thanked her coach, Andrea Montelibano Cruz, for believing in her and pushing her to her limits.

“Everything I know from my English riding journey is all because of you! I look up to you so much and I’m forever grateful to be blessed with an amazing mentor like you,” she said.

Caitlyn also expressed her gratitude to her horse, Bella.

“Of course, thank you to my Bella for being the best partner I could ever ask for. I couldn’t have done this without you my bubba bella boo!”

Caitlyn is in relationship with Rafael Jaworski, the son of equestrian star Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski.

Mikee, who won the gold medal for individual show jumping at the 2002 Asian Games, previously taught Caitlyn some horse riding techniques.

Caitlyn previously appeared in GMA Prime series “Mga Batang Riles” and “My Guardian Alien.”
