Traverse City, United States – September 17, 2026 – Thursday was a big day for Isabelle Ehman (USA) as she took the top call aboard Laganixx in the $31,020 American Gold Cup Welcome CSI 2*. Going up against a field that included McLain Ward (USA), Christian Kukuk (GER), and Kent Farrington (USA), Ehman delivered a foot-perfect round for a memorable victory.
Laganixx, a 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, is a newer ride for Ehman, but the partnership has already competed successfully up to the CSI4* level.
“I’d love to make the Olympics, I’d love to be a five-star [competitor], I want to go all the way,” Ehman said. “We just want to do it right and take our time.”
