There are two answers to this question. Sure, Riley is going to do the under saddle class, but here is the big news: Heather Blitz and Paragon are going! In her August 2010 newsletter, she writes...
I made the decision to compete with Paragon in the CDI at Devon - http://dressageatdevon.org/I'll be there, sitting in a box seat (won in a raffle), to watch this great pair...cms/ - September 28 - October 3, 2010. Devon is the beginning of the qualifying season for the Pan American Games, which will be held in Guadalajara, Mexico in October 2011. The Pan Am Games is a competition for small tour horses and will be an important one for the United States. In order to qualify for the team competition at the London Olympic Games in 2012, we must win either a team medal at the 2010 WEG next month or win a gold medal at the Pan Am Games.
I personally love both horse and rider. Future superstars. I wouldn't be surprised if one day they represent the USA.
ReplyDeleteinteresting that the clips don't show hardly any views from the side...
ReplyDeleteThat extended canter looks EXCITING!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I know how much you admire Paragon so that is perfect.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I'll get to Devon, but if I do, I will try to find you and your superstar horse. *S*
Tough to decide what impresses me more- the springs on that horse or the seat on that women.
