9 Year Olds - Developing Horse Series

Understanding the Leaderboard

The Developing Horse Series has been created to increase athlete, fan, and organizer participation by utilizing simple criteria and a user friendly leaderboard. The athlete/horse combination with the lowest mean based on their two lowest finishing scores at the levels for their age category. Eight and Nine-Year-Olds will use their two lowest recorded finishing score at a CCI4*- S, CCI4*-L or CCI5*-L event from January 1-December 31.

• For the fans and public, the Series’ aim is for it to be engaging, and interactive through a live leaderboard, and easily shared social content.
• The objective of the leaderboard is that engagement will not be dependent on a fan’s physical attendance at competitions.
• Athlete/horse bios
• Recognition of owners/grooms
• Recognition of breeding
• Dedicated page on USEF to track scores
