Elyssa and Medici
Let’s face it. We all hate dressage. I’m surely not alone in wondering why we can’t just do away with the dressage phase and make eventing all about the jumping. Eventing is an endurance sport, meaning that it is about moving up as much as possible after we endure the dressage phase.
Kidding aside, I think our sport under recognizes those fabulous jumping horses who very reasonably just don’t see the point of dressage. In that spirit, we are partnering with our friends and sponsors at Omega Alpha to recognize one horse and rider combination each month who move up the most after the dressage at one competition.
The June winner is Elyssa Gibbs and Medici “Cooper” of Lexington, Kentucky who moved up the most in the Bromont CCI3* division. They started the weekend in 18th place, and finished in style in 8th place!
July’s winner will be the horse and rider who move up the most in the prelim horse division at Rebecca Farm. The winners will receive a prize basket of fabulous supplements from Omega Alpha. Many thanks to Omega Alpha for their support of Eventing Nation and visit their website for more information.
Go Omega Alpha.
