United States Show Jumping Team Celebrates Jaw Dropping Victory at CHIO Aachen World Equestrian Festival

America Vaults into First Place on International Samsung Super League Leader Board

The win not only means well-deserved cheers of celebration – it more importantly means the United States now tops the leader board with 43 points for the entire 2005 Samsung Super League series, the most competitive show jumping league in the world, comprised of eight competitions in different European cities and contested from May through September.

In the Euro-dominated sport of show jumping, the United States is the only non-European team which qualified to compete in the Super League, and has the most geographical challenges in maintaining a team. Each year, a Super League champion is crowned at the final competition, which will take place this year on September 18th in Barcelona, Spain. With Aachen the second to last stop on the League schedule, things are definitely looking positive for the United States.
