LEXI SILVER

dreams of gold.

Lexi Silver is no stranger to the winner’s circle.

Lexi played Division I field hockey at Miami University of Ohio where she won six MAC championship titles with the Redhawks (as well as a Big 10 Championship in her first year playing for Maryland). In 2020, Lexi graduated from Miami with a degree in Entrepreneurship and Strategic Communication, then went on to pursue her Master's degree from Northwestern University in 2021.

She moved from her hometown, Chicago, to California to begin a career in marketing. In an effort to find a new athletic pursuit to spark her competitive drive the way field hockey had, Lexi found herself at the barn.

Just two weeks after taking her first riding lesson, she entered her first horse show at the 2022 Flintridge Autumn Classic and soon after the Sunshine Series at DIHP where Lexi finished Res Champion and instantly fell in love with show jumping.

It wasn’t long after that she fell in love with a show jumper, too.

In April 2023, she co-founded Silver Stables with Camilo.

Within less than one year of riding, Lexi jumped her first 1.20 class and won her first 1.15 Classic during the Desert Circuit under Camilo’s guidance and training.
