West Palm Beach, Fla., Jan. 28—As the first to go in the last set of riders in the freestyle at the World Dressage Masters, Steffen Peters found himself in the uncomfortable position of patiently waiting ringside to see if anyone could top his score of 83.70 percent with Ravel.
Great Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin was last in the ring, and if anyone could do it, it was going to be her mount Valegro.
West Palm Beach, Fla., Jan. 28—Adrienne Lyle was wearing an ear-to-ear grin as she finished up her Grand Prix Special test at the World Dressage Masters with Wizard, and it’s a safe bet she won’t stop smiling anytime soon.
Just 27 years old, Lyle has never ridden in a World Dressage Masters before. “I’m so thrilled with the outcome. My horse handled everything beautifully in there. It was one of the quietest, most sophisticated tests. He felt happy and relaxed in there,” she said.
Representatives for the Exquis World Dressage Masters announced during the WDM in Munich, Germany, that the Falsterbo Horse Show (Sweden) will become the fifth event in the lineup of the world's richest dressage circuit.
The Falsterbo Horse Show is scheduled for July 8-11, and it will feature a CDI***** status offering $124,000 in prize money.
Things didn’t quite go according to plan for many of the riders in the Exquis World Dressage Masters Grand Prix Special, but when all was said and done, Leslie Morse and Tip Top 962 came out on top (65.70%) in the International Ring at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington, Fla., on Feb. 6.
Morse won the class of eight over Canada’s Belinda Trussell on Anton (65.16%) and Elisabeth Austin on Olivier (64.87%).
Steffen Peters just can’t seem to put a foot wrong, and he laid down yet another superb performance with Ravel in the Grand Prix at the Exquis World Dressage Masters in Wellington, Fla., on Feb. 4.
