First Ever Windsor Invitational Dressage Grand Prix

Tina Konyot and Anna Karenina Rise to the Top

Tina Konyot won the event on Sally Miller's exquisite mare Anna Karenina, riding their first Freestyle, improvised with borrowed music from Susie Dutta. As the duo continue to gain the mileage needed for the realistic goal of making the top 4 US Dressage riders to go to Athens, the win at Windsor allowed them to pick up some prize money to help finance the journey to California for the June Selection Trials.

With her elevated and clearly defined piaffe passage movements the beautiful black KWPN Dutch mare by Sultan out of a Pion mare, demonstrated the strength of her heritage, as the crowd clearly enjoyed the twosome in action.
