Tuesday, Septeber 13, 2005 USEF/Markel Young Horse Dressage Championships Final Presents the Horses For the Future
Friday’s Preliminary Test set the tone for an exciting Final on Sunday with close scores in both divisions, and one super quality horse after another. But in the end, Gribbons noted it was “The best riders on the good movers who won.” The Young Horse tests are not about a perfect performance, and occasional “discussions between rider and horse” were forgiven where quality movement, throughness and balance were correctly demonstrated.   |
“I
think I was more excited about the class this morning than the riders,”
commented Anne Gribbons, who shared judging duties for the final, Sunday
at the USEF/Markel Young Horse Dressage Championships, held at the Kentucky
Horse Park, the site of the proposed 2010 World Equestrian Games. While
the KHP executive director John Nicholson, and the USEF director John
Long await the final decision of the FEI due this fall, they both noted,
that of the horses in the Young Horse competition held this weekend,
it is very likely that one or more could be returning in 2010 to compete
for their country as members of the USET Dressage Team.
