Suppenkasper, the 12-year-old KWPN gelding that Steffen Peters is campaigning to be on the American Team for the Tokyo Olympics, has been named United States Dressage Federation 2020 Grand Prix Horse of the Year for the second straight year.
Suppenkasper and Steffen attained a median score of 76.149% to become the top Grand Prix horse in the U.S. in 2020. The median score that won the horse the title in 2019 was 75.696%.
