Prior to their winning ride in the Five-Year-Old division at this year’s Markel/USEF National Young Horse Dressage Championship, Florida-based Caroline Roffman and Bon Chance had only competed in two other shows this year – the two qualifiers they needed to earn an invite to the national championship at Lamplight Equestrian Center.
“I believe that ‘less is more’ as they say,” Roffman said. “I think it s important not to over show them unless there is something you need to work through. I want MoTo (Bon Chance) to think of showing as fun because I think that if you can keep it fun and not have the horse in the ring every day and out showing all the time, it’s much better.” Clearly, that strategy paid off for Roffman and Bon Chance, who took the national win with a score of 85.80. The pair had followed the same strategy last year in the Four-Year-Old competition and they earned the title of reserve national champions.
