Miranda Cadwell earned her first Gold at the 2007 World Pony Pairs Driving Championships. In 2007 she led the U.S. pony drivers to their first team medal, a Bronze. Leading up to her Gold-medal victory, she and her team of ponies won every national and international outing they competed in including: Black Prong, Sunshine State CAI, Live Oak CAI, Sandringham, U.K., and Saumur CAI, France.

In 2008 with her then 5-year-old, Kabam, Cadwell won the single pony division at Live Oak, and was second at the Laurels at Landhope. With her pairs she took home third at Southern Pines and top honors at Katydid. 

2009 had her and her pair “seeing red”; they placed second in ever outing including the Sunshine State CAI, Live Oak CAI and Southern Pines. She went on to represent the U.S. at the FEI World Pony Driving Championships in Germany in August of that year.

Cadwell began her 2011 campaign by picking up a pair of wins in the Single Pony division at Sunshine State and Little Everglades with Kabam. In March, they were third in the USEF National Pony Driving Championships at Live Oak.

Cadwell was honored in 2008 with the United States Equestrian Team Foundation’s Whitney Stone Cup, annually awarded to an active competitor who exhibits consistent excellence in international competition and high standards of sportsmanlike conduct while serving as an ambassador for the U.S. and equestrian sport.
