    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 30, 2021 University of Kentucky Wildcats Win USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championships at VHT International, Auburn University Earns Coveted Spirit Award University of Kentucky celebrates a win for the Wildcats. Photo by Claire Kelley. Lexington, VA — Throughout the history of the USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championships, the University of Kentucky has competed every year and fought hard for the Wildcats of Lexington. On Sunday, UK earned its first Championship title at the 2021 edition during the VHT International at the Virginia Horse Center. The team of Cosby Green, Ivie Cullen-Dean, Caroline Dannemiller, and Abbey O’Day posted a team score of 94.41, winning by just over 2.0 penalty points. Cullen-Dean finished second individually in Open Beginner Novice Horse with her brand new ride Redfield Lorimer. Green won Training Horse A with McCreary, earning the team’s best individual score of 30.0. Dannemiller and Fernhill Dreaming finished third in Modified B. “I think this is the biggest team we’ve ever had,” Cullen-Dean said. “It’s just the best atmosphere. Walking up and down the aisle you’re always saying good luck and have fun or they’re saying it back to you.” When it came to how to best structure UK's eight teams, O'Day explained, “We looked mostly over our records from last year to this year because this year we didn’t get to come out a lot. We looked at the scores between each other and stacked our teams in certain ways so we could help each other the most.” Finishing second in the team competition was the University of Georgia Red Team.
