What a weekend it was for the Dapple Up family! We are thrilled to celebrate Dapple Up–sponsored driver Ryley Miller and Jeff Day’s stunning KWPN gelding, Humorist (“Hammy”), on being crowned the USEF Intermediate Single Horse National Champions! 🎉

This makes their win even more special: Ryley and Hammy only began their partnership this April. In just a few short months, they’ve built a connection so powerful it carried them to the top of the podium. From the elegance of dressage to the thrill of marathon, the duo showed consistency, trust, and pure heart every step of the way.

Hammy, with his undeniable presence and love for the job, paired beautifully with Ryley’s thoughtful training and focus, creating a performance that stood out from start to finish. Together, they proved that when horse and driver truly click, even the newest partnerships can achieve greatness. 🌟

At Dapple Up, we couldn’t be prouder to support Ryley on this journey. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do — celebrating shiny coats, strong bonds, and the magic that happens when horses are loved and cared for inside and out. 💜
