Laura Graves has been awarded US Equestrian of the Year, while her partner Verdades has been awarded USA International Horse of the Year. The titles were awarded following nationwide online polls of USEF members.

The pair have also enjoyed a great to start to the year in the competition arena, winning the World Cup Grand Prix and GP Freestyle in the first week of the Global Dressage Festival (Wellington, Florida).

The USA National Horse of the Year went to Cobra, a mustang adopted by Marsha Hartford-Sapp in 2010. Marsha trained the horse to compete at Prix St Georges dressage and Western Dressage.

Congratulations to all involved!
