We are so proud of this amazing duo!! They have worked so hard all year and to achieve their goals together is so special! Not only did they get to show at Pony Finals, they dominated!! 🥇

Two and a half years ago, Elin Uhrig’s former trainer Alexia Honegger told her student to write down her future goals, and Uhrig didn’t hesitate. She wanted to go to USEF Pony Finals, and she wanted to win.
