The US Pony Finals presented by Collecting Gaits Farm is set to return to the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky., August 9 – 14. This prominent event will showcase the nation’s best Green Pony Hunters, Regular Pony Hunters, and Pony Jumpers.
"We are excited to bring back Collecting Gaits Farm as a supporter of the USEF," said the USEF CEO Chris Welton. "Having already built a great relationship as a former sponsor of the Festival of Champions, we look forward to Collecting Gaits Farm’s continued patronage."
Collecting Gaits Farm, owned by Jeff and Shereen Fuqua, and located in Milton, Ga., has provided an unparalleled devotion to the USEF. Its partnership with the Federation has aided in producing some of the country’s finest dressage riders.
"We are thrilled to be the Presenting Sponsor of the US Pony Finals," said Shereen Fuqua. "The late Mindy Darst, former USEF National Hunter Committee Chair, influenced us to support the USEF. Mindy's vision helped to transform the US Pony Finals from an event with 400 riders to one with over 700. This event instills enthusiasm, pride, and excitement that is contagious. While this is our grass roots of developing the next equestrian champions in many years to come, the US Pony Finals also help to develop life skills and experiences the athletes will have forever. To support this and carry on Mindy's passion is truly an honor for which we are grateful to the USEF."
