McLain Ward (born October 17, 1975 in Brewster, New York) is an American show jumping competitor and olympic champion. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Ward won the gold medal as part of the United States team in Team jumping, together with Peter Wylde, Beezie Madden and Chris Kappler. He also continued to compete as an Olympian, winning the team gold for show jumping at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics with Laura Kraut (Cedric), Beezie Madden (Authentic), and Will Simpson (Carlson vom Dach) and Mclain`s horse, Sapphire.

Mclain is married to Lauren Ward.

McLain Ward found himself at the center of controversy at the 2010 World Cup Final in Geneva, Switzerland. His mount, Sapphire, was eliminated after the second round of jumping due to hypersensitivity in her left forelimb. She had placed second in both rounds prior to elimination, and was at the top of the overall standings at the time of the disqualification. The FEI appointed veterinarian stressed that there was no indication or evidence of any malpractice by McLain Ward or any member of the team. In July 2010 the FEI and McLain Ward agreed to avoid extensive litigations, that Sapphire was incorrectly eliminated. However, Sapphire`s disqualification from the final round of the World Cup remains in place. The FEI has also decided to develop mandatory guidelines for hypersensitivity tests.

In 2010 Ward was featured in the television series A Rider`s Story along with fellow Olympian Laura Kraut.

McLain Ward Wins World Cup at the Royal Horse Show

Toronto, Ontario --- McLain Ward of Brewster, NY, was the best of the best in tonight�s $40,000 Audi Quattro World Cup Grand Prix at the Royal Horse Show.

Of the 26 starters, nine, including five Canadians, advanced to the jump-off by successfully clearing the course set by 1999 Pan American Games course designer David Ballard of Hornby, ON. Ward and Rio couldn�t be beat, clearing all the jumps in a deceivingly fast time of 33.37 seconds.

"This is the class that everyone wants to win," said Ward, who had kind words for his eight-year-old horse, Rio, following the victory. "I didn�t expect there to be so many clear rounds, but my horse showed tonight that he is gaining maturity. He�s the most talented horse I``ve ever sat on."

�Super� Mario Deslauriers of Bromont, QC, set the standard, posting the first clear of the jump-off in a time of 34.48 seconds with TristanAmerica�s Le Madro.

In Toronto to defend his 1999 Audi World Cup title, Donald Cheska ofWaukesha, WI, was the only other rider to leave all the rails up in the jump-off to finish in third position this year with the tiny black mare, By Design.

Fourth went to Margie Goldstein-Engle who blistered around the course but suffered the consequences when the last fence came tumbling down. Fifth went to local rider Mark Samuel of Toronto, ON, who also had oneknock-down riding Ballerina.

Tonight�s Audi Quattro World Cup was the final qualifying event in the Canadian League World Cup standings. With tonight�s performance, Deslauriers jumped to the top of the Canadian League followed by 2000 Olympians Jay Hayes of Cheltenham, ON, and Ian Millar of Perth, ON. They will be Canada�s three representatives at the 2001 World Cup Final in Goteborg, SWE, next spring. Deslauriers and Millar are the only two Canadians to ever win a World Cup Final.
