First Ever Windsor Invitational Dressage Grand Prix

A Unique Competition In A Unique Setting

A unique competition in a unique setting created an atmosphere of dressage for enjoyment - for invited riders, international judges, guests and members of the Windsor Community who hosted the first ever Windsor Invitational Grand Prix.

Invited riders, enjoyed a two night stay at the Vero Disney Resort, dinner with the judges and Windsor members at the Windsor Beach Club Restaurant, as well a $8,000 in prize money which was divvied between the top three place riders - Tina Konyot, and Sally Miller’s Anna Karenina, Michael Barisone on his fellow owner Jane Duvalsky’s Neruda, and Tami Crawford, on her own, Dakota.

Windsor, an exclusive planned village by the sea located on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, is just about eight miles north of Vero Beach and 90 minutes north of Wellington.

An entire town built from scratch with award winning architecture, courthouse homes, a golf course, polo field and equestrian club, this community has attracted a diverse group of people across the generations, from many parts of the world.

Those lucky enough to have been in residence on March 31 enjoyed some of the highest quality dressage rides to music, by some of America’s leading dressage riders.
