The 2023 eventing season has come and gone, but before we look forward to 2024 we would like to recognize eventing owners for all of their contributions to the sport. In 2023 US Equestrian collaborated with eventing owners on how team horse owners could be recognized across all three Olympic disciplines. As a result, a unique Team Horse Owner Pin was created to designate an owner’s commitment to their sport, team spirit, the rider athletes, and above all acknowledges their love of the horse. These pins identify individuals who have made invaluable contributions to the success of U.S. Equestrian Teams on the world stage, inspiring fellow enthusiasts and fostering a sense of camaraderie amongst all equestrians. The following individuals were recipients of this pin for eventing for Team Horse Owners from Tokyo 2020 through the 2023 Pan American Games, in alphabetical order:
