Zen Elite is best known as the owner of such special dressage horses as Indian Rock, Fleau de Bain and My Vitality, and for sponsoring top riders including Adrienne Lyle and Christian Simonson. But now Zen owner Heidi Humphries has stepped up again to sponsor the FEI World Cup Dressage Finals™ that will be held next April in Texas.
The Split Rock Jumping Tour, in partnership with the City of Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Sports Commission, will host the finals in both Jumping and Dressage at Dickies Arena.
“Zen Elite has become one of the most significant supporters of dressage in the U.S., and we are thrilled to welcome them as Title Sponsor of next year’s Dressage Final,” said Derek Braun, founder and president of the Split Rock Jumping Tour.
“Their commitment to the sport makes them a natural partner for the World Cup, and we look forward to working with them in making this the best World Cup Final ever held.”
“We are beyond honored to step forward as title sponsor of the 2026 FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final in Fort Worth, Texas,” said Heidi Humphries of Zen Elite.
“This is more than a moment for Zen Elite. It is part of a much bigger journey, one rooted in a lifelong love for horses and the unshakable belief in what can be achieved when a horse and rider come together in harmony and trust. Dressage isn’t just a sport. It is a special story of the partnership between horse and rider and an inspiration to all who witness it.
“To welcome the world’s best to American soil is both humbling and exhilarating, and we hope this incredible event will ignite a beautiful flame of passion and unity as we look ahead to the 2028 Olympic Games.”
