OFFICIAL SPOTLIGHT

ANDREW TEMKIN

A native of New York City from decidedly non-horsey parents, Andrew took up

riding following his family’s move to California. Andrew competed in Young Riders and spent two years as a working pupal for Bea and Derek di Grazia at the Pebble Beach Equestrian Center. Following a multi-year gap from competition during graduate school and the start of his professional career as an attorney, Andrew returned to the sport competing successfully through the CCI Four Star level.

Andrew served two terms on the USEA Board of Governors and the USEF Eventing Committee. It was not until the late Roger Haller suggested it that Andrew considered becoming a licensed offi cial. Offi ciating allows Andrew to combine his professional training, technical knowledge of the sport, and his sense as a competitor and horseman. Andrew enjoys being able to contribute to the sport at a high level and to insure its continuation for the next generation.

As a Technical Delegate, Andrew has offi ciated across the United States and globally, including at the Badminton Horse Trials and the Lexington Five Star. Andrew also served as a Technical Offi cial at the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
