Coming up soon at the Kentucky Horse Park is the USEF Pony Finals, where our country’s top pony riders will be competing on fancy smalls, mediums, and larges to find eight spots and get the numbers. Meanwhile, last weekend in Italy was the European Pony Championships where their top juniors (aged 12-16) were running ponies around a course nearly equivalent to a CCI*.
And we wonder why they beat us.
(Before you come at me with rotten tomatoes in the comment section, I know we have some outstanding ponies and kids competing at events in this country. And just look at USPC! But I admit, I do envy Europe’s pony disciplines…ponies competing at that level is very cool!)
