2023 USEF Medal Finals

Honestly not surprised by Cody’s placing. Point spread was clearly not large as seen by the shakeups. So rail down and canter step makes a huge difference.

Neither does Ironman. Pony wants to go home and get his braids out and his neck scratched now.

sheesh no one looks happy!

I thought it was under 21, but did not realize it was open to pros. The rule book is vague—Juniors and Young Riders.

Yup, and angle is everything, something that looked like a little error to us looked quite different from the side.

4th- Olivia. Great finish for a rider of her age! Looking forward to seeing her lots more in the next few years.

Avery didn’t even test. She is not in the top 12.

Avery didn’t test

As someone who now manages a small, historic tack store, I was thinking the same. It’s embarrassing!

Avery had a fumble in the second round. She didn’t get a ribbon

Super finish for Kate, moving all the way up into the top 3!

Maybe it is under 21, I may be getting it mixed up with the U25 GPs, but definitely open to young pros

Yes - I thought it was interesting that Addison Reed rode in the USET finals, but that makes sense now.

that’s right thank you

She’s the reason I know the rule for sure, because they double and triple checked it

Kate’s horse has such a sweet expression. They were doing him up in his cooler and he’s got his ears perked like he knew he’d done a heck of a job today.
