WELLINGTON, Florida, Feb. 23, 2020–Canada’s Diane Creech rode Dublin L to qualify for the Lövsta Future Challenge Developing Grand Prix final while Signe Kirk Kristiansen of Denmark qualified Bonderman in the Summit Farm developing Prix St. Georges at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival Sunday.
Diane and the nine-year-old Hanoverian homebred by Louise Leatherdale in Long Lake, Minnesota scored 69.118% in the Intermediate II that qualifies the winner for the final at Global on the 12th week of the winter-long circuit.
Dublin was sired by Damsey, the stallion that is also owned by Louise and competed by Helen Langehanenberg for Germany and is ranked No. 7 in the world.
Diane received Dublin for development three years ago and she described the experience so far as a “very exciting road.”
“We recognized that he has lots of talent for the collected work and he enjoys it so much. He’s only nine so we almost have to slow down a bit because he’s so smart and learns everything so quickly.”
Signe and Bonderman were awarded 71.250% to win the Summit Farm developing Prix St. Georges that will hold its final in Global’s centerpiece main arena along with the developing Grand Prix finale.
Bonderman (Belarus x Alabaster) is an eight-year-old Westfalen stallion that was competed at the World Young Horse Championships as a seven-year-old in 2019 before being acquired by Signe.
