Congratulations to Zone 5 member, Stephanie Leddy, on winning the 2022 USHJA Adult Horsemanship Quiz Challenge National Title!
The USHJA Adult Horsemanship Quiz Challenge was held virtually for the third consecutive year and saw returning competitor Stephanie Leddy, of Findlay, Ohio, take top honors after coming in fifth overall in 2021.
"I was smiling so big when I got the news! I couldn't scream because the baby was sleeping, but I sure wanted to," said Leddy upon hearing the news of her win. "I have always done all of my own horse care, whether at home or at horse shows, so this felt like such a wonderful validation of the knowledge that I've gained over the years and my ability to apply it practically."
