Zone 10 riders continue to make headlines at championships across the country, and we couldn't be prouder! From USEF Pony Finals to the North American Children's, Junior, and Young Rider Championships and beyond, Zone 10 has been well represented across the nation.
In international news, congratulations to the U.S. Show Jumping Team on their historic victory in the final leg of the FEI Nations Cup Jumping 2017 Europe Division 1 League in Dublin! Laura Kraut, Lillie Keenan, Beezie Madden, and Lauren Hough made history as the first all-female team to win in the 91-year history in the competition for the world-famous Aga Khan Cup. Congratulations to these fantastic ladies and to their Chef d'Equipe, Robert Ridland! Congratulations to Augusta Iwasaki on her multiple championships at US Pony Finals. Way to represent Zone 10, and congratulations to all the other Zone 10 riders at US Pony Finals.
Finally, Zone 10 made a great showing in the USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Challenge when Elvenstar won the Stable Challenge portion of the program. Team members Mike Morris, Alexandra Farfaras, Cleo Eyquem, Caroline Slate showed the nation just how hard they've worked to learn all about their equine partners. Well done!
