The US Dressage Grand Prix Championship is confirmed for 2026, while Klugman and Böckmann face FEI sanctions in eventing.

The US Dressage Grand Prix Championship will take place as a standalone event in spring 2026, marking a significant shift from its previous association with the Festival of Champions. This decision is expected to elevate the profile of the championship, allowing for a more focused competition among top dressage athletes.

In eventing news, Ema Klugman and Felix Böckmann faced sanctions from the FEI during the Defender Kentucky CCI5-L cross-country phase. Klugman received a yellow card, while Böckmann was issued a recorded warning due to riding incidents, raising questions about rider conduct in high-stakes competitions.

Tik Maynard showcased his exceptional horsemanship by winning the 2025 Road to the Horse championship in Lexington, KY. His approach emphasized the importance of connection between horse and rider, a philosophy that resonates deeply within the equestrian community.

As the Kentucky Derby approaches, C2 Racing Stable`s Neoequos is aiming for an upset, although significant improvements are needed for a competitive edge. Trainer John Shirreffs is optimistic about Baeza`s chances of entering the race, contingent on Render Judgment`s potential withdrawal, as both horses are closely ranked in Derby points.

Details regarding scores, attendance figures, and specific venue information for these events remain undisclosed in current reports.
