Laura Kraut of the United States earned the Leading Lady Rider Award, presented by Martha W. Jolicoeur of Douglas Elliman, at the Washington International Horse Show CSI5*-W held from October 20-26, 2025, in Upper Marlboro, MD.
The Leading Lady Rider Award is presented to the female athlete who accumulates the most points throughout the week in the international show jumping division. With a pair of eighth place finishes in Thursday evening’s $63,000 Stars and Stripes Speed Final and Friday’s $63,000 International Jumper Accumulator Costume Class, Kraut was in strong contention for the title. A victory in Saturday evening’s grand finale, the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Washington, presented by Maryland Sports Commission, sealed her place at the top of the standings.
In recognition of her achievement, Kraut was presented with the Martha W. Jolicoeur Leading Lady Rider title. A former grand prix competitor herself, Jolicoeur is now a top-ranked real estate broker with Douglas Elliman.
