The 2024 Turnham Green/USEF Junior Jumper National Championships wrapped up this past Saturday evening at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show. The leaderboard shook up dramatically as 21 qualified riders took to the course with our very own Ava Meyers ’25 taking home the bronze medal.
Her partnership with her own horse Sparky (Stolzenberg x Quantana), began only a year ago, but they’ve made big improvements in that short time. “Sparky is nine years old and before we got him, he didn’t have much experience in the 1.40m,” she explained, “It’s been very nice to develop this young horse and we develop together as a pair. We hit it off right off the bat – he’s a funny, quirky horse, but he loves his job so it’s been a truly amazing partnership between us. I’m thankful to ride him every day.”
Congratulations, Ava!
