Carlee McCutcheon Selected to CSIO3* Nations Cup at Lisbon

The U.S. Jumping team for CSIO3* Vejer de la Frontera

Carlee McCutcheon has been named to her second career senior Nations Cup. The recent Road to the Top graduate is set to represent the United States at CSIO3* Lisbon with Aralyn Blue.

McCutcheon was among the first riders selected to the Road to the Top program, and she spent two years learning under the tutelage of three-time Olympic medalist, Laura Kraut. McCutcheon was partnered with Aralyn Blue at the end of the 2024 season thanks to the generosity of Ann Thompson, and the pair made their Nations Cup debut in 2025 at Vejer de la Frontera (ESP). Upon McCutcheon’s graduation from the Road to the Top program in May, Kraut hired McCutcheon outright, and she now works full time with Kraut as a rider and coach.

The FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ of Lisbon competition is set to begin on Friday, May 22, at 3:00 p.m. GMT+1/9:00 a.m. ET. The €56,800 Grand Prix of Lisbon CSIO3* will take place on Sunday, May 24, at 3:00 p.m. GMT+1/9:00 a.m. ET. McCutcheon will compete alongside teammates Kady Abrahamson, Elisa Broz, and Elena Haas under the tutelage of Chef d'Equipe Anne Kursinski and Team Leader Erin Keating.
