United States Eventing Association

US Equestrian announces a substitution for the Defender U.S. Eventing Squad ahead of the 2026 FEI Eventing World Championships. Phillip Dutton (West Grove, Pennsylvania) has formally withdrawn Possante, who will now be replaced by Dutton’s other mount, Denim.

We found The Riddler when I had fallen out of love with riding. He was kind of my mom’s last effort to keep me in the saddle. If it didn’t work, it didn’t work, and I’d go play volleyball.

In April 2019, I adopted a Thoroughbred gelding named Master Rudy (Fusaichi Pegasus x Sacred Sue) from Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue in West Virginia. At the time, I wasn’t searching for my next event horse. In fact, I wasn’t searching for a competition horse at all.
