The USEF McKenna Trophy for 2025 goes to Brambleridge Ponder the Truth (TBS Declan x Brambleridge Truth or Dare) . The McKenna Trophy goes to the purebred or halfbred Connemara who has the best scores at events at the Modified through Advanced levels at FEI competitions. “Patrick” is owned and ridden by James Power and was bred by Megan Lichty. He is a 16 hand red roan nine year old who has been a challenge to bring along and had a major injury setback but they have persisted and steadily risen to the top with the help of great trainers and veterinarians and fans.
