Carinne started riding at six years old. Like all little kids who are lucky enough to have a good pony, Carinne and Confetti dabbled in a little bit of everything  from gaming to barrels to jumpers. Eventually the eventing bug caught up to her and, as they say, the rest is history. 
 
Carinne has successfully competed through the CCI2L on an off-the-track thoroughbred she produced herself, Arrow Fitz, the namesake of Arrow Ahead Equestrian, LLC. ​
​
Carinne has spent nearly a decade dedicating herself to learning and growth, working under the direction of internationally renowned and respected equestrians as a working student, international FEI groom, and assistant rider. ​​​
​
In 2025, Carinne moved home to Burgettstown, PA,  just south of Pittsburgh, to establish her own business. She actively competes locally, developing young horses, while contesting the upper levels with her mare, Deickhind 10.
