Is there anyplace to find this information, or would you have to dig through the program? All of the rider/trainer/owner info is there, but nothing about the breeders, just the pedigree.
I’m guessing most are imported? What would be the peanut gallery’s educated guess?
That’s a great question. I doubt that information is readily available, but considering that we are talking about the green incentive program, you would hope that breeding information would be featured. My own horses are all US-bred warmbloods, so I love to see and support US breeders.
Thank you!
I’m going to assume since the placings are only $100+ at the bottom and only go down to 9, that means these are the ONLY US bred horses in the competition/program?
Yes. Those are the only. You can see all the standings broken up nicely here:

Perfect, thank you! I’ll keep the thread open for others to easily find this!
I think I recall the commentators talking about the fact that the one horses was American bred, and how it was not very common in that division. I think that was either Mr. Manhattan or Mr. Special. I’m not sure which one.
Funny that they both have Mr. names. I wonder if that could mean they both came from the same breeding program?
Thanks. I haven’t had a chance to click on any links yet.
It does seem like it would be beneficial to US breeders and interested spectators to have this information more widely available. The horse show software now used by most shows hereabouts (showgroundslive) shows the national affiliation of the riders via a flag icon. At one point, whatever awards system my horse was recorded in showed US-bred horses with a USA flag, but I thing that was something that subsequently died (PHR???).
I assume that any horse of unknown breeding/birthdate isn’t going to show up as US bred (or European bred), but any horse that’s done an age-related division (young hunters or young jumpers) has to have that information in the system. I don’t know what sort of data, if any, is required for green hunters.
I watched a portion of the Oaks-Blenheim Young Jumper finals yesterday. Not a lot of US bred horses there. The highest placed US bred horse in the 6 y.o. group was third overall.
Speaking of young jumper classes.
I was watching the Grand Prix from Dublin yesterday, and one of the Irish(?) riders in it had also participated as a riding judge in a four-year-old jumper class within a day or two before showing in the Puissance and then the Grand Prix. All I could think was that he must be pretty brave. Lol.
The USEF national standings still mark American-bred horses with a flag.
So they do. I practically never look at those. The zone ones, which are managed by USHJA, don’t.
There was an award for the top American bred at the Pre Green Finals. Pretty sure was Mr. Special. And IIRC one of the Derby horses was an American bred horse bred by Emil Spadone, can’t recall which one. Hard to listen with decent sound at work …
