Saturday Was the Day for Repeat Performances at the Zada Enterprises, LLC Florida Dressage Classic

Shondel and Brooks Top the Leader Board

Young Michael Shondel again proved he is a force to be reckoned with a second win on his new gelding, the Swedish warmblood Silver Label (by Rambo). “Today the pair won the Fourth Level Test Two class with a score of 69.535%, a tad shy of yesterday’s winning score of 71.395% in the Fourth Level Test. “He’s a really amazing horse,” said Shondel, “And I’m grateful to Cesar (Parra) for his training and guidance.” Second in the class was Emily Andon and Wendolin with a score of 65.581%.

In the lower levels, Jacqueline Brooks also pulled off a repeat win riding the Hanoverian Bamoral (by Belcanto) to first place in the Second Level Test Three Class with a score of 67.021% just a fraction of a point off yesterday’s win in the Second Level Test Two class with a score of 67.838%. Brooks' Mom is visiting from Canada and is enjoying the frequent trips to score board and the trophy table!
