Most recently among her awards and special invitations, Farragut equestrian standout Audrina McCall, 10, performed a demonstration at the internationally celebrated 2025 BreyerFest from Friday, July 11, through Sunday, July 13, at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
Audrina took the spotlight on her 8-year-old Welsh/Holsteiner/Thoroughbred pony, Greymeadows Colby, showcasing their talents before thousands of horse lovers from around the world in Lexington.
BreyerFest draws more than 50,000 equine enthusiasts of all ages and disciplines worldwide. The three-day festival included horse demonstrations, celebrity rider appearances, hands-on crafts, model horse shows — celebrating the magic of the horse in both miniature and full-size form.
Top events ahead
“Audrina and Colby have qualified for the 2025 USEF Pony Finals National Championships, where they will compete in the Pony Jumper division against the best young riders in the country,” stated her mother and trainer, Lindsay McCall.
Adding to her accomplishments, Audrina has been named a United States Pony Clubs Ambassador for the 2025 Pony Finals, a prestigious honor recognizing young riders for their horsemanship, leadership and sportsmanship. Pony Finals is held from Monday, Aug 4, through Saturday, Aug. 9, in Lexington. She competes in the Medium Pony Jumpers category.
“Audrina has quickly risen through the ranks of competitive show jumping, hunters and eventing, earning accolades for her determination, skill and passion for the sport,” Lindsay stated. “Her partnership with Greymeadows Colby is a testament to hard work and a deep bond between pony and rider.
“Audrina currently holds a C1 rating in Horse Management through Pony Club. She also has her D3 rating in eventing, hunt seat and western. She’s an active member of the Tennessee Valley Pony Club in Knoxville.“
She’s been deeply involved with her club — “most recently helping them earn the USPC Brookfield Conservation Award,” Lindsay stated. “She also rides with the Tennessee Valley Hunt Club, where she earned the MFHA Fairly Hunted Award and recognition through the USPC Foxhunting Recognition Program. Her club has worked hard toward the Live Oak Hounds–USPC Foxhunting Challenge Award.”
Audrina also is a member of United States Eventing Association, competing in starter-level eventing since age 8 — “though she’s been jumping cross-country since she was just 4½,” her mother said. “She hopes to move up to Beginner Novice this year. She also competes on the hunter/jumper circuit and has earned numerous championships over the years.
“She made her Pony Finals debut in 2023 at just 8 years old,” Lindsay added. “That same year, she was honored with the Emerson Burr Horsemanship Grant, receiving a $500 grant and a set of Charles Owen helmets.”
Audrina also competes in vaulting at the International 1-Star level, “having moved up to canter this year,” her mom said. “She’s a dedicated member of the Two Step Revolution Vaulting Team in Farragut, which earned Reserve Champion titles at Nationals in both 2022 and 2024. She loves being part of a team.
“One of her proudest Pony Club moments was her team earning perfect scores in stable management at the MidSouth USPC Regional Rally, where she competes in show jumping and eventing,” Lindsay added.
“She’s already dreaming of the USPC Championships in 2026.”
