On Saturday, November 22, William Woods University will host the USSSA International Saddle Seat World Cup Team Trials. As a high school equestrian, we’d like to host you, too.
The U.S. will field a team of 12 riders – six 3-gaited and six 5-gaited – at the World Cup competition, to be held June 29 through July 2, 2026, in Shelbyville, KY. But to make the team, 30 riders will have to give it all they’ve got – and then some.
You see, these riders will compete on horses they’ve never ridden before – horses in the William Woods herd. And amazing though these horses are – to compete for a world championship on a horse you’re only allowed 10 minutes to warm up on, is an extraordinarily challenging thing. One could argue that this is the ultimate test of an equestrian’s skills.
And for those that prevail? The chance of a lifetime. The chance to compete in the International Saddle Seat World Cup.
Would you please join us in witnessing this spectacle? As a high school equestrian, we’ll even reserve a front row seat for you – at no charge. From there, you’ll get to watch the competition unfold – which begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. on November 22.
To reserve your seat (and two for your parents as well, if you like), please email Missy Smith at [email protected] or call 816-896-5968. She’ll hold a spot for you and – if you like – even show you around.
We hope to see you at the International Saddle Seat World Cup Team Trials. We’re certain it’ll be an experience you’ll never forget!
