Athlete Spotlight: Olivia Dutton

July 23, 2026

As the daughter of an Olympic eventer, Olivia Dutton grew up immersed in the sport of eventing. Now ranked No. 25 in the FEI Eventing U25 World Rankings, she has built an impressive résumé through consistent performances at the upper levels and successful partnerships with horses including Sea of Clouds and Jewelent.



Throughout her career, Dutton has compiled an impressive list of accomplishments, including a team silver medal at the 2025 Bicton CCIO4*NC-S, a NAJYRC CCIOY3*S Team Gold Medal in 2018, and a third-place finish in the $20,000 Indoor Eventing Challenge at Toronto's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in 2023. 


Riding the 15-year-old Thoroughbred Sea of Clouds, Dutton has become a familiar face at the Kentucky Three-Day Event, making three consecutive appearances in the Cosequin Lexington CCI4* from 2024–2026. Together, the pair has continued to climb the international ranks, contesting multiple CCI4* events, including Bromont International and Military Boekelo-Enschede, before capturing a standout CCI4*-S victory at the Morven Park Fall International and Horse Trials in 2025.

That same year, Dutton was named the USEA Reserve Adult Amateur of the Year, finished fourth in the USEF CCI4* Eventing National Championship League (U25), and was selected to both the USEF Eventing European Development Tour and the USEF Eventing Pathway Programs. 


Aboard Jewelent, the 2012 Irish Sport Horse gelding, Dutton was selected to represent the United States at the inaugural FEI Eventing World Championship U25, taking place this weekend in Millstreet, Ireland. Bringing together the world's top under-25 eventers for the first time, the championship marks a significant milestone for the sport; and another major achievement in her career. 


With success across premier CCI4* competitions, recognition through the USEF Eventing Pathway Programs, and selection to the inaugural FEI Eventing World Championship U25, Dutton's career continues to gain momentum as one of the country's most accomplished emerging event riders.


Good luck at Millstreet, Olivia!

Athlete Spotlight: Tommy Greengard

Tommy Greengard has steadily established himself as one of the rising names in the sport, with a growing résumé of competitive results at the CCI4* level and beyond. A member of the USEF Eventing Emerging Athletes Program from 2022 through 2024, Greengard has progressed through the eventing pathway while building an impressive string of horses capable of competing on both the national and international stage. That depth was on full display at the 2025 Cosequin Lexington CCI4*, where Greengard brought two horses to compete: That's Me Z and Joshuay MBF. Aboard That's Me Z, he produced a strong performance throughout the competition, finishing inside the top 20 and continuing the partnership's upward trajectory at the level. Greengard returned to the Cosequin Lexington CCI4* in 2026 with another two-horse campaign, this time riding That's Me Z and Balladeer Kilbrackens Lad. He improved upon the previous year's result by guiding That's Me Z to a top-15 finish while also successfully completing the CCI4* aboard Balladeer Kilbrackens Lad. These performances reflected the continued development of Greengard's string and carried that momentum into a successful international campaign throughout the spring season.
