U.S. Teams Win and Take Third
at FEI Dressage
Nations Cup in Florida
Wellington, FL - Two U.S. Dressage teams competed in the
Intermediaire I Freestyle Saturday night at the WEF Wellington
Dressage Nations Cup CDIO 3* presented by Stillpoint Farm. Both
went home with medals.
Helped by three of the night's top seven scores the first U.S. team
beat out their American counterpart, a team from Europe, and two
teams from Latin America to capture the FEI Nations Cup crown. The
team was lead by Christopher Hickey riding Hilltop Farm's Witness
Hilltop. The pair kept their momentum from Friday's Prix St. Georges
and scored a competition high 71.425%. Caroline Roffman and Pie
scored 70.050%, Shelley Francis and Patricia Stemple's Doktor
68.650%, Devon Kane and Diamante Farm's Destiny 67.525% and
together they edged out a victory on Saturday night. With a final
score of 210.125 (the lowest score from teams of four riders was
dropped) the first US team beat out the European team by less than
one whole point.
A tense and exciting night in Wellington, FL came down to the night's
very last rider. With scores of 70.825% and 68.075% respectively
from Kevin Kohmann and Katharina Stumph team Europe was still in
position to win when the final pairing, Mikala Gunderson and My
Lady, got going. They would need a very good ride and they got one
A 70.475% made them the third best pairing of the night, but that
wasn't quite enough as the team finished with a 209.375.

Another Successful Markel/USEF
Young Horse Training Session Takes
Place in Texas
Lexington, KY - Continuing the Markel/USEF Young
Horse training and observation session program,
Twinwood Equestrian Center in Simonton, TX hosted
the fourth session of 2012, April 14-15. Led by USEF
Young Horse Coach Scott Hassler, this was the first
time a session has been hosted in Texas, an area that
has proven to produce a wealth of successful young
horses.
"Texas and the surrounding area have consistently had
high participation in the Markel/USEF Young Horse
Program and the Markel/USEF Young Horse National
Championships", said Hassler. "The Young Horse
program here continually proves its quality as the group
of horses here is of diverse breed and largely
dominated by U.S. bred horses. From this training
session, I was very impressed with the quality of horses
and riders and quite certain that we'll see some of them
at the Championships in August."

Para-Equestrians Prepare for the Houston Dressage Society Spring
Classic I & II CPEDI1*
Katy, TX - In two months United States Para-Equestrians will be vying for a spot on the United States Paralympic Equestrian Team
heading to the London Games. With the United States Team qualified, Para-Equestrians have traveled to Houston, Texas for their
last opportunity in the United States to qualify as an individual. The Houston Dressage Society (HDS) is pleased to host the Spring
Classic I & II CPEDI3* sponsored by The COR Group at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center. Running concurrently with the
CPEDI3* will be the CDI3*and CDI1* sponsored by North Texas Equestrian Center and $10,000 HDS Dressage Derby. Fifteen
Para-Dressage horses and rider combinations will compete over three days including riders from the United States and Canada.
On Thursday, April 26, 2012, Para-Equestrian horses and riders will present their mounts for the exciting FEI Jog. On Friday, April
27, 2012, Para-Dressage competition will kick-off with the Team Test, followed by Saturday's Individual Test, and finishing with the
musical Freestyle Competition and awards ceremony. Although many of the equestrian athletes have already earned their
qualifying score for the 2012 USEF Paralympic Selection Trials, this will be one last opportunity to compete under international
ground jury Kathy Amos Jacob (FRA), David Schmutz (USA), Kristi Wysocki (USA), and Carlos Lopes (POR). Lopes has been
selected as part of the judging panel for the 2012 London Paralympics making this competition even more interesting.
