Elli Taylor has roots deep in the horse world. Both grandparents (Joe and Eleanor Woodward) were Presidents of GCHS; great grandfather (Boyd Arthur) was President and charter member (1948); and two great uncles were President (Boyd Arthur Jr. and Andrew Arthur).
She rode in her first lead line class at age two and fell off in the ring trying to put her foot back in the stirrup. Her Aunt Allison Alder was leading her that day. She started in cavalettis, then short stirrup and then on to hunters and jumpers. She has shown in Pony Club, Alderwood Shows and the Germantown Charity Horse Show. Her cousins and brothers were at the in gate cheering her on and waiting for their own classes. Elli has taken the last couple of years away from horse shows for her high school sports, but horses remain an integral part of her life.
