Wellington, FL (March 4, 2010) – A six-year-old hunter prospect named Noblige, owned by Ole Strigel’s DK-USA Sporthorse farm in Durham, North Carolina, proved he has what it takes to be a successful hunter when he won the Baby Green Hunter Championship during the seventh week of the 2010 FTI Winter Equestrian Festival. Draper Equine Therapy, makers of therapeutic products for horses and riders, sponsors the Baby Green Division.
Noblige, known as Ziggy, was the Reserve Champion of the Baby Green division during week six, but came back his second time out this year to win the championship. The young gelding, who was ridden by trainer Denise Monopoli, is a 16.1 hand Dutch Warmblood by Quite Easy.
“Congratulations to Ole, Denise and Ziggy,” said Kat Wojtylak, Product Manager of Draper Equine Therapy. “He is a beautiful gelding and is having great success at WEF this year. The competition at WEF is the toughest in the country, so I am sure we will be hearing plenty about this dynamite horse in the near future.”
