Arianna grew up riding horses but took a break whilst she studied her undergraduate and masters degrees and started her career in the art world in London. She took riding back up in the 2020 lockdown, and wanted a challenge and adventure to look forward to for when the world opened back up. She is riding with her father as Team LEA. They are riding to raise money for Room to Read, a charity for education and gender equality. Their goal is to enjoy their time on the steppe and cross the finish line together.
