The U.S. Show Jumping Team had a fantastic showing at the World Cup Finals in Paris! Congratulations to Beezie Madden on her second World Cup Finals win and to Devin Ryan and McLain Ward on their second and fourth place finishes, respectively. Jamie Barge was the top placing Zone 10 rider and rode very well to place in the money at 16th overall. We hope the success of the U.S. Show Jumping Team will inspire riders at all levels to work hard and continue to learn and grow. Don’t forget that there are several USHJA programs to help young, amateur, and professional riders improve their horsemanship and reach their goals. Be sure to take advantage of them!

Zone 10 Member Spotlight: Avery Lambert
|
Though she is only 14 years old, Avery Lambert is already making an impact with her hard work and dedication to helping others. Last year, she won the USHJA Youth Leadership Award, which led to her joining the USHJA Foundation Youth Committee.
“I had done a lot of charitable work for a nonprofit called Giant Steps, which provides therapeutic horseback riding for children with disabilities and veterans with PTSD,” Avery explained. “When I went to San Antonio to accept my award, Marnye Langer suggested that I join the USHJA Foundation Youth Committee. She thought it would be something I’d really love since it’s similar work.”
Avery started fundraising for the USHJA Foundation with gusto and recently raised $1,500 for the foundation over the two weeks of the Woodside Spring Series.
“There was a lot of support from everyone at the show,” Avery recounted. “I was able to have conversations with people about the Foundation, and they got really excited to support it once they learned what the Foundation does and what they participated in.”
For Avery, it’s very important to give back. “I truly love riding and I also love giving back to the community. It’s what I’m passionate about,” Avery shared. “The Foundation is the charitable arm of USHJA so they help fund a variety of events and programs like the Horsemanship Quiz Challenge, the Gochman Family Grant, the Hamel Scholarship for Further Education, and disaster relief programs... It’s really special to me to give back to the community I love so much.”
Avery’s hard work and passion has helped raise awareness and money for the USHJA Foundation and she is looking forward to continuing her charitable efforts for the Foundation and other nonprofits.

The answer to last month's Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Quick Quiz was "Camped out," because it is not a flaw that can be found on a horse's front legs. Sixty-five percent of our members who answered the question got it correct!
Camped out is when the hind legs are set behind the plumb line that runs from the point of the buttock through the point of the hock, down the back of the cannon bone and to the back of the heel bulbs. The other choices, pigeon toed and club footed, were flaws that can be found on a horse's front legs.
