About Lillie Keenan

Lillie Keenan is an American showjumper, born 4 October 1996 and holding FEI athlete ID 10079018. At the 6 August 2026 snapshot she stood 33rd on the Longines FEI Jumping World Ranking with 2,220 points and fourth in the Pan-American ranking. (This entry previously recorded her as ranked 28th; no source supports that figure and it has been corrected.)

Keenan has no Olympic start and is not described as an Olympian: no competitive Olympic appearance appears in her FEI achievement record or in the US Equestrian athlete and team records. She has one verified World Championship appearance — the 2022 FEI Jumping World Championships at Herning with Argan de Beliard, where she finished 69th individually and the United States placed 11th. US Equestrian selected her with Fasther on 26 June 2026 for the World Championships in Aachen, but that competition was scheduled to begin on 19 August 2026, after the research cutoff; the selection is expressly a non-start and is not counted as a second World Championship appearance.

She has contested two FEI Jumping World Cup Finals, both with Kick On: 11th at Basel in 2025 on her debut and 10th at Fort Worth in 2026. Her 2022 Las Vegas win was a North American League leg — a qualifier, and separate from the Finals.

Her senior team record includes United States Nations Cup Final bronze at Barcelona in 2016 with Super Sox, winning Nations Cup teams at Spruce Meadows in 2017 with Fibonacci 17 and Dublin in 2017 with Super Sox, and winning teams at Ocala, Rome and Aachen in 2025. Individually she has won the 2024 Toronto CSI5* Grand Prix with Kick On and the 2026 WEF Week 3 CSI4* Grand Prix at Wellington International with Fasther. She has no Rolex Grand Slam Major win; her best Major results are sixth in the 2025 Aachen Rolex Grand Prix and 11th in 2026, both with Fasther. Nations Cup victories at Spruce Meadows and Aachen are team competitions and are not Major wins.

As a junior she swept the USEF Hunter Pony National Championship in 2007 and 2008, won the USHJA International Hunter Derby Finals in 2011, and in 2013 took FEI North American Youth Championship team and individual gold, the HITS-on-the-Hudson Grand Prix and major equitation finals including the USEF Hunter Seat Medal Final — commonly called the 'USEF Medal Finals' — and the ASPCA Maclay Final. She was USEF Junior Equestrian of the Year in 2013 and turned professional in 2015. US Equestrian identifies McLain Ward as her coach, while the USET Foundation documents earlier professional training in Cian O'Connor's Karlswood programme. Her honours include the 2015 Lionel Guerrand-Hermès Trophy, the 2016 Maxine Beard Award and the 2026 Whitney Stone Cup. Chansonette Farm LLC is recorded by US Equestrian as owner of Fasther, Argan de Beliard and Kick On.
