John Zopatti and Nel Bosco Win High Point Trophy at Palm Beach Dressage Derby

John Zopatti of Wellington, Florida, riding Nel Bosco won Training Level Test 4 with a score of 76% and was awarded the Show High Point Trophy presented by Howard and Gisela Pferdekaemper at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby in Loxahatchee, Florida, March 1-3. The duo also won the High Point at Training Level and the High Point at First Level.

Nel Bosco is a four-year-old, 17.1-hand, brown American Warmblood by the Percheron stallion Cottonwood Flame, a Grand Prix dressage horse, out of Tess, a mare from Canada of unknown breeding with an extensive record as a jumper and hunter.

Dr. Cetty Weiss, is a chiropractor, who together with her husband own Weiss Family Chiropractic, counts equestrians as the major portion of their clientele. Dr. Weiss and Zopatti went horse-shopping in Europe for a schoolmaster for her last year, but she fell in love with Nel Bosco (which is Italian for ‘My Dream’) at Jennifer and Margaret Kaiser’s Forrest Hill Farm in Lafayette, Indiana.
