He is the only equestrian to have won both an international gold medal in eventing and a Tevis Cup buckle in endurance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.teviscup.org/results/tevis-2004.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.teviscup.org/results/buckle-recipients/23-results/buckle-recipients-finishers/136-last-names-e-through-g )〕 In 1972, Emerson was named United States Eventing Association's Rider of the Year. He was a member of the United States Three Day Eventing Team that won the gold medal at the 1974 Eventing World Championships. As of 2015, Emerson operates as a clinician and trainer. He is a regular contributor to ''The Chronicle of the Horse''s "Between Rounds" column. He and his wife, May Emerson, run Tamarack Hill Farms in Strafford, Vermont and Southern Pines, North Carolina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://useventing.com/hof/index.php?id=15 )〕 ==Riding Career== Emerson grew up in Massachusetts and began riding around the age of nine at the Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield, Massachusetts, where his father was headmaster. Emerson began competing in gymkhanas in 1954, at the age of 12.〔 At the age of 15 he rode in his first 100-mile endurance ride at the Green Mountain Horse Association (GMHA) in South Woodstock, Vermont. He began eventing in 1961 at the age of 20. His first event was a preliminary three-day at GMHA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tamarackhill.com/AboutUs/about-us.htm )〕 In 1965 Emerson moved up to the Intermediate Level on his first event horse Lighting Magic, and by 1971 he had moved up to the Advanced Level on Cat. Emerson and Cat competed in their first advanced three-day at Dunham, Quebec. In 1972, Emerson was named the United States Eventing Association's Rider of the Year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://useventing.com/hof/index.php?id=15 )〕 Two years later, in 1974, Emerson and his part-Morgan horse, Viktor Dakin, rode a clean cross country round at the Burghley Horse Trials World Championship Three Day Event, that helped secure a team gold medal for the United States Eventing Team. The team included Bruce Davidson on Irish Cap, Michael Plumb on Good Mixture and Don Sachey on Plain Sailing.〔 In 1976 Emerson and Viktor Dakin were named to the reserve team for the 1976 Montreal Olympics at Bromont. Viktor Dakin had strained a ligament just before the competition.〔 That same year Emerson and Viktor Dakin won the National Three Day Event Championships at Radnor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.useventing.com/resources/media/documents/1976_archive_results.pdf )〕 Emerson won the National Three Day Event Championship again in 1979 at Chesterland riding York.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://useventing.com/resources/media/documents/1979_archive_results.pdf )〕 York was then named USEA's 1979 "Horse of the Year". In 1982 Emerson placed fourth at the US National Three Day Event at Chesterland, riding Farnley Rob Roy. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.useventing.com/resources/media/documents/1982_archive_results.pdf )〕 In 1992, Emerson won the Bromont CCI * * event. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hippomundo.com/competitions/rider/11486 )〕 Emerson competed at his final advanced three day at Groton House Farm in South Hamilton, Massachusetts in 1999 at the age of 58.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eventingnews.com/archive/results/groton992.html )〕 His advanced career lasted 29 seasons. In 2004 Emerson earned a Tevis Cup buckle for completing the 50th Anniversary of the Western States Trail Ride, a 100 mile endurance race.〔〔 Emerson has also shown Morgan Horses, and competed in dressage and jumper shows. In 2011 Emerson completed his 50th consecutive season as an entry in the Preliminary or Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) CCI * level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dartmouth.org/classes/63/11-11ClassNotes.htm )〕 That same year, however, Emerson broke his C1 vertebrae after falling during the cross country phase of an event at the Stoneleigh-Burnham School Horse Trials in late July. Emerson made a full recovery and, as of 2015, continues to regularly school horses and compete in both jumper and dressage shows. Emerson served as USEA president from 1982-1984 and again from 1991-1992. He also served as the United States Equestrian Team's Vice President of Eventing for seven years, and was a member of the United States Eventing Association's Executive Committee, and the Chairman of the Breeder's Committee of the American Horse Show Association (AHSA).〔 As of 2015, Emerson operates as a trainer and clinician.
