Amateur Dressage Riders Honored at the Markel Amateur Awards Ceremony

Dr. Kristy Lund and Fabio Win Weiss Family Chiropractic Center High Score

The High Score Award for all levels was sponsored by Weiss Family Chiropractic Center and was won by Dr. Kristy Lund with a 3rd level score of 68.889 earned aboard her gelding, Fabio. Lund, owns Lund Animal Hospital, and is known as Dr. Kristy in her office. Dr. Lund broke her wrist while loading a friend’s horse to come to the show. While she was at the hospital Dr. Lund’s trainer, John Zopatti offered to accept Kristy’s awards for her, but Lund would have none of it.

Even though she had to be lead into the arena, she accepted her awards, dressed in show clothes riding Fabio, with a cast on her left arm from her shoulder to her hand. “Maybe I can compete in the leadline class tomorrow”, joked Lund, who despite obvious pain accepted her awards with a satisfied smile.
