Brian Moggre Named Recipient of Lionel Guerrand-Hermès Trophy
Brian Moggre, 19, of Flower Mound, TX, was awarded the 2020 Lionel Guerrand-Hermès Trophy, presented annually to a junior/young rider in one of the Olympic disciplines who demon- strates the team’s values of sportsmanship and horsemanship. This prestigious award was presented to Moggre on January 17 by the United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation during the “Take Me To Tokyo” gala in Wellington, FL. Riders who are awarded the Lionel Guerrand-Hermès Trophy are identified as athletes with great potential, and the list of winners who have re- ceived the award is a “who’s who” of the U.S. Equestrian Team in the Olympic disciplines – to which Moggre now adds his name. “I am awestruck to be receiving this award,” said Moggre, who has made a name for himself as a rising show jumping star to watch after winning the both the 2019 $100,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Ocala CSI3*-W at Live Oak International and the $225,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Lexington CSI4*-W at only 18 years of age. “It takes a huge team to make all of this happen, and that’s
really what I’m thankful for,” continued Moggre after having ac- cepted the award. “I’m so thankful to Gianna Aycock, Mike Mc- Cormick, and Tracy Fenney and my current team of Emily Smith and Ken Smith as well as my parents and Lesley Leeman, who takes care of my horses. “I’m very honored to now have my name on a trophy with the best riders in the entire world, and it means so much to me.” Patrick Guerrand-Hermès established the Lionel Guer- rand-Hermès Memorial Award in 1983 in memory of his son, Li- onel, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 1981 at the age of 18. Lionel trained with the United States Equestrian Team and was talented enough to be considered an Olympic hope- ful. Included on the list of past winners inscribed on the perpetual trophy are such notable names as Greg Best, Chris Kappler, Mc- Lain Ward, and Buck Davidson, among many others. . w
