In a few short weeks, young riders and diminutive equines from all over the country will flock to Lexington, Kentucky for one of the most anticipated events of the year; USEF Pony Finals. 

Stepping into the Walnut Ring is the culmination of months, maybe even years of preparation and hard work. For some riders, Pony Finals is the start of an illustrious equestrian career (think Lillie Keenan). For others, Pony Finals is the first and last opportunity to compete on a grand, National stage. 

With educational opportunities, a range of awards, and a deep sense of camaraderie, its no wonder that Pony Finals has become a common goal among the 14.2 hand and under crowd. But, are we placing too much emphasis on one show? And is Pony Finals really for everyone?

In this episode, Karen and Jen Discuss the pros and cons of pony finals, as well as their own experiences with this popular event.
