JUMPERS

LOGLINE

Jumpers follows rising 21 year old equestrian Skylar Wireman as she pursues the 2028 Olympics in a sport dominated by wealth and long defined by the same elite, predominantly male riders who have held Olympic team positions for decades. Without major financial backing, Skylar has built her career as a catch rider, relying on a deep connection with the horses she rides.
