As part of the Nation’s Zone 4 pony jumper team, Cooper Dean (age 13) and “American Hero”  were part of a historic Pony Finals feat, as all 4 riders on the team went clear in both rounds to secure Team Gold for Zone 4 at the USEF National Pony Jumper Championships held at the Alltech Arena at the Lexington Kentucky Horse Park.   The dynamic duo,  Dean and “American Hero”  fresh off the team gold with Zone 4 went on to dominate the USEF National Pony Jumper Individual Championship by winning the Individual Gold Medal!  Cooper is coached by his mother and Windwood trainer Jill Dean. Here’s a link to see him in action.
