Vero Beach, FL: - Buck Davidson from Ocala, Florida held a commanding lead for most of the year and with the completion of Galway Downs International in Temecula, CA captured his first PRO Tour Series Rider LeaderboardAward over second placed Will Coleman.
"I am very happy to win the PRO Rider Leaderboard this year. I had the best group of horses and the best owners in the country," said Davidson. "That's how you win these kind of awards. I'm very lucky to have the team that I do behind me, without them there are no awards."
Davidson also topped the PRO Tour Series Multi Radiance Medical Intermediate Challenge Leaderboard, winning an MR4 ACTIVet Laser System. "I'm so excited to win the MR4 ACTIVET laser as the PRO Intermediate Leading Rider. I used a borrowed laser to keep me on the road after some injuries that happened throughout the year and I just want to thank them for their support of PRO." Davidson will be presented with the Welcome Here Farm PRO Tour Series Rider Leaderboard Award and a new Multi Radiance Medical MR4 ACTIVet Laser System at the PRO Awards Reception held at the USEA Annual Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Jan Byyny's Inmidair sealed the win of the PRO Tour Series Horse Leaderboard after her CCI3* Championship at the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International in October over second placed Rise Against owned and ridden by Bunnie Sexton of Santa Ynez, CA.
This is the first year that Byyny has won the My Boy Bobby PRO Tour Series Horse Leaderboard Award. Cassandra Segal, owner of My Boy Bobby, is thrilled to have Jan Byyny as the winner this year: "Jan has worked so hard to come back to the top of the sport and is an inspiration to us all." Mrs. Segal plans to present the award to Jan in person.
"I'm really honored for my horse to get this. He's really overcome a lot this year," said Byyny. "I wasn't sure if he would ever get back to this level because of the breathing problems to be honest. He's easy to deal with and tries so hard and he's just a super horse. My thanks also to PRO because without this organization we couldn't have this type of award."
Jan Byyny and Buck Davidson will be honored at the PRO Awards Reception at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio on Friday, December 6th at 6:30 PM.
It’s hard to believe that 2025 marks the 40th year that we have been running the Winona Horse Trials. But in many ways, it seems so long ago that Dave and I moved to Winona and one March morning took a walk around Huffman’s farm and began to dream.
You asked and midwestern FEI eventer Julie Wolfert answered! In this week's episode of the USEA Podcast, Host Nicole Brown hits Julie with all of your biggest questions (all while Julie waits out a tornado while in transit to compete at Stable View) including competition preparations, eventing in the midwest, Julie's eventing history, what is to come in the future, and so much more.
Eventing combines three phases: dressage, show jumping, and cross-country. It is arguable that many eventers compete in this sport because of the cross-country phase. It's a fan-favorite for sure with its wide open galloping tracks, a wide variety of obstacles to jump, and the ability to encounter natural elements such as water, banks, ditches, and more!
Boyd Martin came into cross-country today in the CCI4*-S at Stable View in an enviable position, holding the top three places, and he put in three strong performances with his Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event-bound horses, finishing on top with Commando 3 (38.0), in second with Fedarman B (38.8), and in fourth with Luke 140 (40.4).
