West Palm Beach, FL (February 16, 2010) – Courtney King-Dye and Grandioso III, owned by Hampton Green Farms, turned in an award-winning ride in the Intermediaire II class at the Wellington Classic Dressage Spring Challenge CDI. The class was sponsored by Sho Clothes, and King-Dye and Grandioso rode away with a beautiful scrim from the upscale dressage boutique in Wellington that specializes in the latest and most fashionable dressage apparel for show and play.
Grandioso earned a 68.421 in the Intermediaire II class and King-Dye was pleased with the stallion’s performance. “It was his second time to show in the Intermediaire II and I was very happy with his improvement,” King-Dye said. “We still had some green mistakes but when you are doing the Intermediaire II you feel like you have a foothold into the Grand Prix. There isn’t anything new the horse needs to learn, you are just perfecting everything.”
King-Dye described the 16 hand PRE as “incredibly talented.” A 1999 stallion, he was imported from Spain in 2003. Grandioso was the recipient of the Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse’s Open High Point Award for the PRE at the Palm Beach Derby last year.
“I feel very fortunate to have the time to develop him into a Grand Prix horse,” King-Dye said, adding that she appreciated Sho Clothes sponsoring the Intermediaire II class.
