McLain Ward

We've seen a great improvement in our horse’s movement and elasticity! They move so much better

McLain Ward started riding after being encouraged to take up the sport by his parents who were professionals in the industry. In 1990, at age 14, he became the youngest rider to win the United States Equestrian Federation’s Show Jumping Derby. Ten weeks later he became the youngest rider to win the USET Medal Finals and became the first and youngest rider to win both titles in the same year. This early success led to him earning the nickname "The Kid". At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Ward won the gold medal as part of the United States team in Team jumping.  In 2006, McLain was part of the Silver Medal Team at the World Championships in Aachen, Germany. He continued to compete as an Olympian, winning the team gold for show jumping at the 2008 Beijing. He won silver in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. He is without a doubt one of the leading equestrian athletes in the United States.
