VIDEO: 1981: The Last Time a Rider of the Year was Female
We are bringing you select content from the 2018 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention on demand in partnership with RNS Video Media, giving you a chance to relive all the action!
It has been 35 years since a female rider last earned the title of USEA Rider of the Year – a fact that was the topic of discussion for the panel of Karen O’Connor, Nina Gardner, Lynn Symansky, Jonathan Holling, and Sam Watson at the 2018 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention.
Gardner, O’Connor, and Symansky discussed how the cultural attitude towards women during their generation, both in general and in equestrian sport, has changed over the decades. While equality has certainly improved over the generations, the panel discussed ways in which the Rider of the Year award can be brought to a level playing field.
The Rider of the Year award is a quantitative award, meaning that the riders with the most starts is at an advantage over a rider with fewer starts per year. The panel discussed different ways in which the award might be restructured to level the playing field amidst discussion of other topics ranging from owners to competing as a mother.
