Madden, ranked number two show jumper in the U.S. and number seventeen in the world, will compete with Coral Reef Via Volo, a 13-year-old Belgian warmblood mare she describes as “a small horse with big ability.”
Madden is a veteran of the Olympic Games, having competed in 2004 in Athens where her double clear rounds helped the U.S. win the team gold. In the 2008 Olympics, she won her second consecutive Team Gold medal and she also earned a bronze in the Individual Show Jumping competition.
“We have incredible respect for Beezie, and what she has accomplished in her riding career; her stellar determination and horsemanship skills are virtually unparalleled,” said Beth Cross, president and CEO of Ariat International. “We are honored to have worked with Beezie over the past four and a half years, and are thrilled for her to represent the United States once again in the Olympic Games this summer.”
As Official Apparel Supplier and Partner of the USEF, Ariat will be supplying Madden and all other U.S. Olympic equestrian competitors with the world’s leading performance riding apparel to wear while attending The Games.
