Shawna and Come On III continued their “Wellington Winning Streak” the last two weekends at Cosequin Wellington Dressage and the Wellington Classic Spring Challenge. On February 8-9, Shawna and Come On III won both the Prix St. Georges and the Intermediare I with scores of 72.5% in each class. The Prix St. Georges was a tie for first place while the Intermediare I was an outright win.
On February 16, Shawna and Come On III won the Prix St. Georges at the Wellington Classic Spring Challenge with a 71%. This was the second leg of the Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge Series. With wins in the first two legs of the series, Shawna and Come On III are poised to claim the bonus prize for winning all three events in the series. The final event is March 8.
Shawna and Tonya Rowe’s Rigo had a very successful event at the Wellington Classic Spring Challenge with wins in both of their second level classes. On Saturday, they won the Second Level Test 3 with a 72.093% and on Sunday they won the Second Level Test 4 with a 74.048%.
Two other horses had great non-competitive show experiences at the Wellington Classic Spring Challenge. Shawna’s own Contreau, a 5-year old Danish Warmblood gelding, had his first show experience ever. He enjoyed a nice hack around the showgrounds and handled his first experience with class. Kathleen Broughan’s licensed stallion, with plenty of show experience in Europe, attended his first event in the United States. Shawna took him through a workout in a busy warmup arena where he behaved like the seasoned competitor that he is. Many people had positive things to say about both horses.
The next event will be for Come On III at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby (CDI) on February 29-March 2.
