Presented by Gotham North and UlcerGard

Bonnie Efird Win the "Dressage Trot" Style Award

Young rider Bonnie Efird learned that competing in the CN North American Junior and Young Riders’ Championships is not only full of highs – but extreme lows. Efird experienced had the misfortune of experiencing the disappointment of competition. However, she handled it all with grace. Such grace, in fact, that in the end she was awarded the “Dressage Trot” Style award, given to one rider in each of the three competitive disciplines.

The award, donated by Brian and Penny Ross in conjunction with Bel Cavalo Bronze, is given to riders who exhibit the best of good sportsmanship through their demeanor and behavior both on the ground and mounted. DressageDaily.com congratulates Efird for the winning of this award. And below she relates her story of the ups and downs of competing at this year’s NAJYRC with her 13-year-old Dutch mare, Magie Noir.
