“It has been an amazing weekend. We worked all summer to get to this point. We have worked on improving precision and overall harmony. It really all came together this weekend. We were able to improve our balance in our turns, maintain activity, and stay constant. It is a big transition for Lord Locksley from Grand Prix Stallion to Para-Dressage partner but he is a great horse and we are finding our perfect balance together.”

Botana will also plan to head to Florida in the winter to compete at the Global Dressage Festival.

Athletes, their staff, and volunteers were impressed with the The Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC). The TIEC has aligned with U.S. Para-Dressage beginning a relationship to progress the discipline as it continues to excel internationally. Chef de’Equipe Michel Assouline and Sharon Decker helped to develop this relationship and they were on hand to present the winning athletes their accolades. U.S. Para-Dressage riders will be back in Tryon in June 2020 as the team prepares for Tokyo 2020.
