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.

Building on their spring success, Greengard and That's Me Z were selected to represent the Defender U.S. Eventing Team at the FEI Eventing Nations Cup in Bicton, Great Britain, this past May.
The pair joined teammates Allie Knowles, Cassie Sanger, and Quidley Kellermann in helping the United States earn the team silver medal against an accomplished international field. They then continued their European campaign by successfully completing the CCI4*-S Meßmer Trophy at Luhmühlen, adding another significant international result to the partnership's growing résumé.
With multiple successful international appearances, consistent results at the upper levels, and an expanding string of talented partners, Greengard continues to establish himself as one of the sport's emerging contenders. As he and his horses continue to gain valuable experience on the world stage, Greengard remains a competitor to watch in the years ahead.
