Amy Star is a USAWE "S" judge, technical delegate, and lifelong horsewoman based in Tucson, Arizona, and the founder of Star Lusitanos (Coudelaria STAR). A supporter of working equitation since first discovering the sport in Europe, she brings masters-level horsemanship rooted in a Western foundation of reining and working cow horse.
