High Scores and High Spirits at the Zada Enterprises, LLC Florida Dressage Classic

Dr. Cesar Parra and Galant du Serein Upward Bound

Second in the spectacular Grand Prix Musical Freestyle class was Dr. Cesar Parra who rode a beautifully executed freestyle on Galant du Serein for a score of 73.125%. It took the crowd a few movements to settle into Dr. Parra’s lighter and more refined music as he rode directly after Morse’s epic performance on Kingston. But Dr. Parra was also rewarded by thunderous applause.

Another crowd pleaser in the Grand Prix Freestyle was Shannon Dueck riding Korona to brand new music that won the approval of the crowds and the judges alike. Dueck placed third with a score of 73.083% in the field of nine competitors.
