For Alabama native Jim Graham, eventing has been more than a sport — it’s been a lifelong journey shaped by resilience, opportunity, and a deep love for the horse. With over five decades in the saddle, Jim has worn nearly every hat: international competitor, trainer, FEI judge, mentor, and Technical Delegate. These diverse experiences have shaped him into one of eventing’s most respected voices, blending competitive success with an unwavering commitment to horsemanship.
Mary Fike’s name is synonymous with the soul of American eventing. Her fingerprints are found not just on score sheets and start boxes, but on the very fabric of the sport — especially where it matters most: the grassroots. With decades of experience spanning competitor, coach, secretary, organizer, and mentor, Mary has dedicated her life to building a sport that is inclusive, educational, and rooted in true horsemanship.
