The U.S. list of show jumpers for next month’s FEI World Cup Final in Saudi Arabia is set, with Devin Ryan of Long Valley, N.J., in the group of five on Eddie Blue. The two were a sensation at the 2018 finals as virtual international unknowns who finished second. They went on to be part of the U.S. gold medal team at the FEI World Equestrian Games that year.
