Thirty-four-year-old Danielle Goldstein is a champion equestrian show jumper who competes internationally under the Israeli flag. (She has dual American-Israeli citizenship.) In addition to her many other accomplishments on horseback, Goldstein and her horse, Lizzymary, won first place in this year’s winter Palm Beach Equine Clinic Grand Prix — the second year in a row, an extraordinary feat in show-jumping competition.
Quote: “I always wanted to represent Israel internationally. It means a lot for me. I think it’s important to try and do something good for a country that does not get so much positive attention, and I feel a deep connection to the place.”
