2018 was a huge year for Allison Springer and her entire team. Not only did she return to the top level with multiple horses after retiring the great Arthur last year, but she also brought along some top-class young horses who are looking better than ever. Follow along as we recap her incredible year.

After starting the year off with a win in the first event of the season at Pine Top in the Intermediate division with the Lord Willing Syndicate's Lord Willing, things only got better for Allison. This year Allison competed at a total of 20 events, making 50 starts with eight different horses throughout the year. In those starts, Allison finished in the top three a whopping 18 times with 11 of those including wins on six different horses. Allison and her team exhibited the highest level of consistency throughout the year and it is a true testament to her incredible program and team.

Not only did she have great results, but her horses also had confident seasons as many of then upgraded throughout the year confidently and easily. Lord Willing, Business Ben Partnership's Business Ben, and Athlone Anto Syndicate's Fernhill Casano, all upgraded to the Advanced level.

Nancy Winter's Crystal Crescent Moon not only made the move up to Training level with ease but he also moved up to the Modified level at the final event of the year after dazzling at the Young Event Horse Championships. He also earned the lowest Dressage score of the year, earning a 22.1 at the Training level over the summer.

Katie Lichten's Sapphire Blue B was second in his first CCI2* with Allison in the irons and Kaylin Dines's Unbridled Numbers not only competed in, and won, his first Preliminary, but continued to impress at the level all year.

These are just a few of the strong highlights from her year and as you can tell, it was jam-packed and successful! While the results are impressive, Allison would not have been able to do it without the help of her exceptional team. Everyone from her friends and family to her supporters and sponsors have truly been incredible this year and Allison is so thankful to have your support! On to a fun holiday season before the 2019 season kicks off! 

Thank you all for your support!
