WELLINGTON, Florida, Mar. 28, 2021–Karen Pavicic qualified the Canadian-bred Totem for the final of the Lövsta Future Challenge for developing Grand Prix horses with a victory Sunday in the Intermediate II at the Global Dressage Festival.
Karen and the nine-year-old Hanoverian gelding (Totilas x Donnerhall) were awarded 71.911% by the two-judge panel in the eighth week of the Lövsta series staged during the winter-long Global circuit with the final set for the centerpiece international arena during the wrap-up competition in a week. Charlotte Jorst of Reno, Nevada on Kastel’s Grand Galaxy Win was runner-up on 70.661%.

The international career for the pair has so far been in Wellington, with success in young horse divisions before moving up to Small Tour last year.
