Molly Ashe won her first grand prix in 1999 aboard Resolute at the Lake Placid Horse Show in Lake Placid, New York. Ashe, originally from Tennessee, now resides in Wellington, Florida. Ashe had a solid 2006 season and was a great success riding for the United States in the 2006 Samsung Super League. In Rome, Italy, she helped the team to a second-place finish. She also saw two wins in Rotterdam and an individual win in Rome aboard Jane Clark’s Lutopia. She then grabbed the win in the Queen Elizabeth II Cup in Hickstead, England, again riding Lutopia, making this the second time in two years the pair won this prestigious class. She was third aboard Cocu in the $50,000 Grey Goose Cup at the Hampton Classic in New York. Ashe kept the momentum alive at the Spruce Meadows Masters in Canada where she and Lutopia were third in the Molson International Cup, and with Neuville she was a member of the third-place U.S team in the BMO Financial Group Nations Cup.

Ashe and Neuville qualified for the short list for the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany. In 2005, Ashe and Neuville were first in the Jumping Under the Stars Grand Prix at the National Horse Show and fourth in the New Albany Classic Invitational, just a few short months after Jane Clark purchased Neuville for Ashe to ride. Also in 2005, Ashe and her longtime mount, Kroon Gravin, won both the $40,000 CSI Lexington Grand Prix and the $50,000 Congressional Cup. In 2004, aboard Resolute, Ashe won the $75,000 HITS on the Hudson Grand Prix. Other triumphs for Ashe include wins in the CN Continental Grand Prix and Budweiser Prix de Penn National, second in the $1-million CN Grand Prix and the Congressional Cup and third in the CSI Lexington Grand Prix and Jumping Under the Stars Grand Prix at the National Horse Show in 2003, all aboard Lutopia.
