This year's recipients of the EQUUS Foundation Spirit Award are Thomas O'Mara, President of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), and David O'Connor, USEF Chief of Sport and former USEF President. O'Mara and O'Conor are receiving the Spirit Award for their role in adopting the "Social License to Operate" initiative and making the welfare of America's horses paramount in equestrian sport. The Spirit Award was established by the EQUUS Foundation in 2023 to recognize equestrians who have significantly elevated the image and desirability of horses.
