Dressage Division Recognized with Special Honors at NAYC
Lexington, KY (August 28, 2018)
- The United States Dressage Federation™ (USDF) is pleased to announce that
three of this year's special honors awards at the 2018 Adequan®/FEI North
American Youth Championships, presented by Gotham North (NAYC) were presented
to the dressage division. Rider Callie Jones, Irish Sport Horse Ringmoylan, and
volunteer Katelyn Mosle, all received special recognition at this year's event.
Callie Jones, of USDF Region 2,
was the recipient of the 2018 Style Award. The Style Awards recognize one
rider, from each discipline, for their “style” throughout the week. Not only is
their style while mounted given consideration, but also their manners and
overall demeanor around the competition grounds and at the organized functions.
Ringmoylan, a 21-year old Irish
Sport Horse, ridden by Emma Szegvari and competing in the Young Rider division
with the USDF Region 8 team, was the recipient of the HorsePower Trophy. This
award recognizes an outstanding horse, from any of the championship disciplines,
who best demonstrates determination, courage, class, heart, and the ability to
inspire athletes and spectators alike, throughout the competition.
"Ringo", a barn favorite, has not only successfully competed through
Intermediate I, but has also competed at the upper levels of eventing.
Katelyn Mosle, who had been
named to the USDF Region 8 team before having to withdraw, was the recipient of
The Howard B. Simpson High Five Trophy. This trophy is awarded to the volunteer
who best exemplifies Howard's spirit of volunteering. The recipient of this
award embodies Howard's dedication and commitment to the championships. Katelyn
exemplified the true spirit of this award by attending NAYC, even after having
to withdraw as a competitor, supporting the Region 8 teams, and volunteering as
a scribe for the competition.
