The 2025 USEF Pony Finals commenced at the Kentucky Horse Park’s Rolex Stadium with over 200 ponies and riders competing. The event began with the medium regular pony hunter national championship, where City of Stars, a Welsh Pony Cross gelding shown by Abby Morris, won the model phase, while Qualen’s Charismagic took the under saddle phase. In the small green pony hunter national championship, Boca’s Bolero won the model class, but Little Hollywood, ridden by Cisy Zhou, claimed the top spot in the under saddle phase.
Upcoming events include the small regular hunters starting early Wednesday morning, followed by the medium regular hunters completing their over fences phase and the small green pony hunters competing. The jumpers will also begin their competition with a jog and training session before their first phase.
