Florida's Mia Farley just missed out on a spot on the US Equestrian Team for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, but that doesn't mean she's giving up on her goal of competing in Rio.
The 24-year-old was recently awarded a national competition training grant that will help her travel to Lexington, Kentucky, this summer for the Kentucky Three-Day Event, where she finished 13th, USA Today reports.
"The grant is going to be a huge help as I'm pretty limited on funds, and I'm really excited to see what else I can do with it," Farley says in a press release.
Farley plans to use the grant to improve her show jumping skills with the 11-year-old thoroughbred Phelps.

"I'm hoping to do another long-format with him this fall."
