Mary Jordan

Hometown: Wells, Maine Birthday: 12/7/1965 Sport/Disciplines: Para-Equestrian

Mary Jordan represented the U.S. at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Kentucky riding her homebred mare, Paxton Abbey. She was an alternate for the U.S. Para Dressage Team at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. In 2019, Jordan rode Rubicon 75, her 2005 Oldenburg gelding, in the Grade V as part of the second-place Adequan® U.S. Para Dressage Team at the Caledon Spring Jubilee CPEDI3*. Jordan is a former eventing rider who competed with her homebred Paxton Abbey, a 1998 Hanoverian mare, in that discipline before switching to dressage. She launched her international para-dressage competitive career with a spot in the 2009 FEI European and Open Para-Equestrian Dressage Championships in Norway, riding a borrowed Hanoverian stallion, Boehmer’s As. In 2011, she was part of the U.S. contingent that competed on borrowed horses and won gold at the Melbourne CPEDI3* in Australia. Jordan rode Sebastian, Deecie Denison’s 1993 Hanoverian gelding, to a second-place finish in Grade IV at the 2012 Wellington Classic Sunshine Challenge CPEDI3*. Jordan, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2002, competes in able-bodied dressage as well as para-dressage. In 2017, she won the FEI Grade V Freestyle at the USEF Para Dressage National Championships, and went on to compete at third level at the US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan® that same year. In both events, she rode her impressive 18-hand Oldenburg gelding, Rubicon 75.
