Wellington, FL - Sahar Daniel Hirosh, an International Grand Prix rider and competitor, has a track record of developing young horses from their beginnings under saddle to the Grand Prix. His technique, which focuses on the physical as well as mental well being of each horse, has proven very successful during the 2013 Florida winter circuit. With three consecutive wins on Dr.Roberta Weiss's Weinline, Hirosh is demonstrated the importance of developing a young horse slowly and not allowing the horse’s athletic talent and ability overshadow its mental preparedness. Hirosh and Weinline scored in the 70's at the Dressage National Shows 3 & 4, and completed the season at the Nations Cup National Show.  Hirosh took his time to gain the confidence and trust of this horse, a five-year-old Oldenburg mare (x Hotline out of St.Pr./El. Wienlady II x Don Gregory/Figaro) owned by Dr. Roberta Weiss of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. “I am very happy with the results I had this season with Weinline,” said Hirosh. “My goal was to give her confidence, as well as build her strength and stamina. With all the horses I train, my aim is to develop them physically while at the same time ensuring that they are confident in their abilities.This makes them confident in me, and in return I am able to develop them to their maximum potential.”
