The mystique of the U.S Equestrian Federation's headquarters at the historic Brady Farm barn and grounds was not lost on cosmopolitan Brianne Goutal, winner of this year's Black Entertainment Television/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search-East. The New York teen felt the presence of more than a half century of legendary riders and horses that represented this country here and abroad.

So it is no wonder that the high school sophomore wants to be part of that picture as a member of a U.S. team. As she sat in the mahogany paneled library of the opulent stables which serve as the New Jersey headquarters for the team, she gazed at pictures, fading ribbons and gleaming silver trophies won by the greats of the industry. They brought visions of what those great athletes learned within the walls of that building centered in the heart of New Jersey's hunt country. It struck her deeply and she said quietly, "I get a feeling of history."
