Weekend Winners: USEA Year-End Awards + Full Gallop Farm

For this week’s edition of Weekend Winners, we’re recognizing all of the Year-End Award winners announced by the USEA over the weekend. Typically, these winners would be recognized as a part of the Annual Meeting, but this portion of the proceedings has been scheduled instead for January 8, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. EST on Zoom. Scroll down to view this year’s Year-End Awards.

The final recognized event of 2020 is in the books as Full Gallop Farm had its December horse trials over the weekend. On that note, our final Unofficial Low Score Award winner of the year is Lauren Alexander, who won her Training division aboard Excel Star Over The Moon on a score of 28.8. This pair has a handful of wins together, and this weekend is their third win at the Training level. Many congratulations!
