Unforgettable Moments from the FEI World Cup Finals

By Chelsey Burris

I was lucky enough to be sent to Omaha, NE by USDF to work at the 2023 FEI World Cup Finals. Competitors, horses, team members, volunteers, and fans from all over the world converged on Omaha, Nebraska for the Olympic-qualifier event.  It was an exciting week featuring the world’s best dressage, jumping, and vaulting athletes.

Check out my list of the 10 most memorable moments that we are sure to be talking about for years to come over on YourDressage.org!
