Currently sitting 3rd in the Individual standings, the U25 rider has already proven she can compete at the sport’s highest level.

Wireman gained senior championship experience early in her career, representing the United States at the 2024 FEI World Cup Finals in Riyadh, KSA. While competing against the world’s best, she has also remained dominant in the young rider ranks, claiming double gold at the 2025 North American Youth Championships (NAYC) in Traverse City, Michigan.

Wireman is a key member of the league’s newest team, The Rainmakers.

And has played an important role in the team’s success during their inaugural season. She helped the Rainmakers secure their first-ever team podium at Leg 2 in Toronto, jumping double clear with her longtime partner Tornado to earn the bronze medal finish. Wireman continued to deliver for the team later in the season, contributing to the Rainmakers’ second-place finish at Leg 5, marking the only two team podiums the squad has achieved so far.

Her biggest individual result of Season 5 came at The Coachella Cup aboard Barclino B.

In the $750,000 5* Grand Prix, the richest class of the season, Wireman held her own against veteran competitors Laura Kraut and Mclain Ward to finish on the podium in one of the strongest fields of the year.

As one of the youngest riders in the league and competing for one of its youngest teams, Wireman has shown she is more than capable of handling the pressure.

With two legs remaining in Season 5 and sitting 3rd overall in the Individual standings, she remains firmly in contention as the race for the title continues.
