CULPEPER, VA (September 28, 2009) — Rising star Daniel Bluman added another impressive line to his resume when he bested a star-studded field aboard Fatalis Fatum to secure the top-prize in the $100,000 USGPL Invitational Grand Prix at HITS Commonwealth Park in Culpeper, Virginia.
Bluman and his impressive mount have now won three Grand Prix events in a row, including a victory in the $100,000 Class at The Hampton Classic. “I am very proud of my horse,” said Bluman. “He is proud to do his job. When I was horse shopping with Pablo Barrios he told me that this was the horse for me, and he was right!”
Bluman was outlasted 30 pairs in the first round and an additional nine on the jump-off course set by International Course Designer Olaf Petersen Sr. “He is a fantastic young rider on a well-established mount,” said Canadian Olympian Jill Henselwood, who finished second. “They are going to be a force to be reckoned with for a long time.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=8306

Devon, PA (September 28, 2009) – Dr. Cesar Parra and Olympia wrapped up Dressage at Devon with another hat trick – winning all three CDI classes as well as the high score award for Best FEI Rider. Parra and Olympia, a Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Dr. Lori Washton, won the FEI Prix St. Georges class, the FEI Intermediaire I and the FEI Intermediaire I Freestyle.
Parra’s Dressage at Devon hat trick follows on the heels of his recent three-for-three victories with Olympia during the New England Dressage Association Fall Festival CDI. “I was really excited to win at Devon, because winning at Devon is difficult,” said Parra. “The standard of judging is high and there are so many competitors and anything can happen.”
Parra, who recently became a United States citizen, said it was a wonderful experience to hear the National Anthem of The United States played three times for him during the weekend. “I rode a hat trick another time at Devon but that time I rode as a Colombian,” Parra said. “So this weekend with Olympia was really amazing. I was very focused and I wanted deeply in my heart for it to work. I am trying to teach my working students that if you have really believe, you can win. If you don’t really believe you are setting yourself up for a big disappointment.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=8300
Upper Marlboro, MD – September 27, 2009 – The Capital Challenge Equitation Weekend presented by BigEq.com came to a close today with three major equitation finals. The Capital Challenge Horse Show runs through Sunday, October 4, at the Show Place Arena. Chase Boggio of Canton, GA, rose to the top of 87 competitors to win the 2009 North American Equitation Championships. Sylvia DeToledo of New York, NY, won a work-off for victory in the Taylor Harris Insurance Services (THIS) National Children’s Medal Finals.

Sixteen-year-old Boggio rode Graphiq, a 12-year-old gelding, to victory today. Boggio described, “He’s got a really slow rhythm and a really slow jump so it’s hard to take things too quick with him. He definitely does help. It’s easy to stay relaxed on him.”
Boggio led through the entire class, scoring an 88.6 in the first round and an 89.45 in the second round. The scores were averages of scores from five judges: Linda Andrisani, Jim Clapperton, Liza Dennehy, Shane George, and Bobbie Reber.
