🇺🇸🐴 From FYDC to the Pan American Games
A familiar face in the youth divisions, 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐢 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 built her path through the ranks with consistency and determination.

From her early days in Young Riders and U25 at the Florida Youth Dressage Championships few years later, she represented the U.S. at the FEI North American Youth Championships on four occasions between 2011 and 2017, securing team bronze in 2016 🥉. Her breakthrough moment came in 2018, when she and Katholt’s Bossco claimed victory in the USEF Young Adult Brentina Cup National Championship at the U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions 🏆

Stepping into the senior ranks in 2021, Harrison quickly made her mark. Throughout 2022, she achieved top Grand Prix results, including standout performances at AGDF and TerraNova. The momentum continued into 2023, highlighted by a win in the CDI3* Grand Prix Special at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby ✨
That same year became a defining chapter: representing the United States at the Pan American Games in Santiago, Harrison helped secure team gold 🥇 and finished 6th in the Kur.
She closed the season by earning the U.S. Grand Prix Champion title at Lamplight—cementing her place among the sport’s elite.
