American New Comer Tom Noone Finishes Tenth

Tom Noone of Abington, MA finished in tenth place onboard Fresco, owned by Francine Weiner-Govostes, finished with a score of 65%.

Noone traveled to the World Cup Final with the assistance of a $10,000 United States Equestrian Team (USET) travel grant. The USET also supplied him with saddle pads, coolers and other equipment.

At his third indoor show ever with Fresco, Tom Noone had a decent, clean 65.84% ride in the Grand Prix. However, some problems arose in the freestyle for the 28-year-old Noone. His elegant Westfalian lost his consistency and was extremely tensed. Fresco fell out of canter once and blocked completely in one transition to the piaffe. Their final score was 65.84% and put them on an overall tenth place.
