WELLINGTON, Fla., Jan. 18-Helmets off to the equitation superstars in the WIHS at the CN Winter Equestrian Festival presented by Zimmerman Advertising at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center Friday. These riders are marking their future spots in the Grand Prix ring with hard work and discipline.
The hard work paid off Friday for Chelsea Moss and Julianna Fischer.
Chelsea had a fantastic finish on her mount Logan in the Hunter Phase with the high score of 89. The 17-year-old from Medford, N.Y. and her 12-year-old Warmblood gelding train with Stacia Madden and Max Amaya.
“Logan couldn’t have gone better,” Chelsea beamed as she collected her blue ribbon. “I am so happy to finally feel like I am connecting with him.”
Stacia couldn’t be more pleased as it was Logan’s first day in the ring this season and he has been sharing Chelsea’s attention with the two other horses that she showed Friday.
“I’m very pleased with Chelsea,” Stacia said, “she has been working very hard, and she had a nice day on all three horses.”
Wellington’s 15-year-old, Julianna Fischer, placed first in the Jumper Phase and second in the Hunter Phase on Icon that she feels ever so fortunate to be leasing from Addison Phillips. This experienced bay gelding and this lovely young rider made a dynamic duo with their double high placings.
Julianna showed two different rides and made them both look beautiful.
“I am so thrilled to be riding with Andre (Begnelli) and so lucky to have such a nice horse and this great opportunity,” she said.
