What is the Open?
- 1A season-long series of 24 Grand Prix Freestyle qualifiers at international (CDI3* to CDI5*, CDIO and CDI-W) shows across the US. This season ran from December 1, 2025 to TerraNova Dressage II on October 15, 2026.
- 2At each qualifier, riders earn points for their Freestyle placing. Bigger fields pay more points. Only a rider's best four results count.
- 3The rider with the most points wins the Series. Kevin Kohmann clinched the 2025-26 title on 65 points, with wins on three different horses.
- 4The top 18 on the leaderboard are invited to this CDI5* Final. Not all of them could come, so invitations went further down the rankings. Ten pairs start.
The Open runs across the 3 Olympic disciplines
Dressage sits alongside jumping and eventing in the US Equestrian Open. This is the second dressage Final. Ben Ebeling and Bellena won the first here in November 2025 on 79.930%.
How a pair gets here
- Ride in at least two Series qualifiers.
- Score at least 67% in a qualifier Freestyle as the same horse-and-rider pair that comes to the Final.
- One horse per rider at the Final.
- Meet the FEI entry standard for a CDI5*.

Storylines
Storylines and numbers
A new champion, guaranteed
Ebeling and Bellena are not back to defend. Four of last year's finalists return (Harrison-Antell, Vaughn, Jorst, Schwartsman). Six are making their debut.
Gino v the field
Vaughn and Gino have the best average and the best PB in the field. Only Potasky and INXS (76.325) have come within 0.1 of their best. The EquiRatings model gives them a 43% chance to win. The question is current form: no Freestyle since February.
The winning number
No pair here has come within 3.5 points of Bellena's winning score last year, 79.930%. The highest PB in the field is 76.415%. Expect the title to be decided in the mid-70s, so every tenth counts.
Form v experience
Five finalists arrive off a personal best: Vamos (Kane), INXS (Potasky), Finley (Harrison-Antell), Royal Flash R (Schwartsman) and Florisson (Jackson). As pairs, Harmony's Dante's Peak (Klimke) and Niquel CAP (Jorst) have one international GP Freestyle each. Fire Fly, though experienced, has only done two Freestyles with Koford.
West Coast v East Coast
Four finalists are based out West: Vaughn (Elk Grove, CA), Harrison-Antell (Los Angeles), Schwartsman (Eagle, ID) and Jackson (Scottsdale, AZ). Harrison-Antell, Schwartsman and Jackson earned all their 2026 points in California and Oregon.

The standard is up
Three in four scored rides reached 70% this season, up from two in three in 2025, and a quarter cleared 75%. 45 riders broke 70%, up from 42.
The best top end yet
The three highest qualifier scores across both US Open seasons all came in 2026: 82.660 Werth, Special Blend 3 (AGDF 7); 81.745 Pape, Harmony's Giulilanta (AGDF 3); 81.445 Simonson, Indian Rock (AGDF 1). The best of 2025 was 81.405.
More winners, new faces
19 riders won the 25 classes on 20 horses, and nobody won more than twice. In 2025, 17 riders won 26 classes and Vaughn took four. About two in five of this season's 60 riders were new to the Series, and they won eight classes.
Finalists who won a 2025-26 Qualifier
Six of the ten. Vaughn and Kane twice each; Jackson, Schwartsman, Potasky and Harrison-Antell once.
One Open, three sports
The US Equestrian Open
The mission of the Open
To grow and foster a deeper connection to equestrian sport by delivering a premier, unified championship series that engages a broader fanbase through top-level competition, storytelling, and a dynamic, entertaining experience.
US Equestrian launched the Open in August 2024 with more than $1 million across the three Finals, as a single championship model for the Olympic disciplines on home soil, building toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. Each sport runs its own route to a Final: a Grand Prix week in jumping, a points Series in eventing and dressage.
