Go With It Farm (GWIF) made a historic one-two sweep at the 2026 USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) Championship, with their teams GWIF Groupies 2 and GWIF Groupies 3 taking the champion and reserve champion titles respectively. Competing against 22 teams and 83 riders, the Atlanta-based program showcased remarkable depth and teamwork, highlighted by standout performances from young riders like 13-year-old Bethany McKnight and 14-year-old Macyn Wolpert, who delivered personal bests and consistent double-clear rounds across dressage, cross-country, and stadium phases. The event emphasized the supportive team environment that helped riders manage pressure and excel.
The third-place team was Goldin Eventing Navy, making a strong debut with a solid overall score. Additionally, Silver Lining Equestrian Center earned the Spirit Award for their enthusiastic participation. The IEL program, established in 2020, fosters junior riders in grades 5-12 by providing a competitive yet supportive community. The USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Program, running since 2014, complements this by supporting collegiate-level eventing teams nationwide. Both programs aim to develop young equestrians through team challenges and national championships, supported by numerous sponsors dedicated to the sport’s growth.
